| LampeNews: Construction of Dams in Bihar |
LAMPENews: The Water Resources Projects are planned, funded, executed and maintained by the State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priorities. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, Government of India provides technical and financial assistance to encourage sustainable development and efficient management of water resources through various schemes and programs such as Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Program (AIBP) etc.
under Pradhan MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) as per the guidelines of such schemes.
As intimated by the Central Water Commission (CWC), no Major and Medium Irrigation Project proposal including construction of dams in Mithila Region/ Darbhanga district of Bihar has been received from the State Govt during the last five years. However, it received a proposal of Dagmara Hydro Electric Project from Central Electricity Authority (CEA) on 12th June 2020 for clearance from inter-state aspects. The same was accepted by CWC on 24th June 2020.
The project is a Run of the River scheme with an installed capacity of 130.1 MW and envisages the constructions of a concrete barrage and an earthen dam across the Kosi River in the Mithila region of Bihar.
