Narmada Valley Development Project

The Narmada Valley Development Project is a large-scale effort in India to harness the Narmada River's water through dams and reservoirs. Its main goals are to generate hydroelectric power, provide water for irrigation, and supply drinking water to nearby regions. The project aims to boost agriculture, support communities, and improve livelihoods. However, it has also faced concerns about environmental impact and displacement of local villages. Overall, it represents a significant effort to manage the river’s resources for development and economic growth.
