His socio-environmental activism connects the local struggles constantly with the critique of the capitalistic model of development while proposing alternatives in the context of socio-political challenges peculiar to India.
Rohit is part of anti-nuclear movement in India. In fact, he played crucial role in a decade long struggle of 152 villages against the Westinghouse Electric Corporation of the USA and Government of India to stop 6000 MW Nuclear Power Plant in Mithivirdi, Gujarat, India with dual strategy of active public participation of local villagers and legal intervention in the Environment Court (NGT).
