Key Focus Areas:

Health and Environmental Impact

• The Bhopal disaster led to significant health crises, including cancers, birth defects, and neurological problems among residents.

• Contaminated water and soil remain major issues, with no adequate cleanup efforts in place.

Migration Trends

• Many residents have been forced to migrate due to deteriorating living conditions and health impacts.

• The lack of governmental support and compensation has exacerbated the migration crisis.

Socioeconomic Factors

• Union Carbide Corporation’s neglect and insufficient compensation have left victims in perpetual poverty.

• The disaster has highlighted the broader issues of corporate exploitation and inadequate regulatory frameworks in developing countries.

Project Overview:

This project aims to analyze the effects of the “imperial mode of living” on migration patterns, using the Bhopal industrial disaster as a case study. The research investigates how industrial negligence and corporate exploitation contribute to forced migration and long-term health crises among affected populations.
