The Rise of New Futures: The runway from rehabilitation to resilience - stories from Navi Mumbai International Airport” is a reflective narrative, penned by a civil servant who served as a Joint Managing Director of CIDCO at a crucial juncture of the Navi Mumbai International Airport project (NMIA) in 2015. A decade later, the author looks back and explores the complex and evolving relationship between urban development and the lives of the project affected people (PAPs) in Navi Mumbai. Drawing from years of experience and first-hand engagement, the author recounts the early challenges faced during the rehabilitation process – anxious villagers, incomplete plots and rushed handovers. The book reframes displacement not as a burden, but as a springboard for inclusive development. Challenging the outdated narratives of victimhood, the PAPs of the airport project embraced transformative change in partnership with CIDCO which recognized them as equal stakeholders rather than passive beneficiaries. NMIA which began operations in the year 2025 is a shining example of a successful infrastructure project that was built in way that minimized conflict and genuinely benefitted those who gave up their land illustrating that true progress uplifts, rather than uproots, elevating the lives of those affected.
