Over 40 percent of India's population does not have access to electricity and providing electricity for 24 hours in rural areas is a major challenge. For this the Indian government has envisioned several paths for its energy requirements, from nuclear to renewable. Despite greening its energy requirements, the government has taken various paths from bidding foreign oil well through diplomatic manoeuvring to establishing fossil fuel thermal plants. Meanwhile, hydro-power is one of the energy sources which oscillate between aspiration and achievements. But today there is a strong push for large hydro projects in India. The Bhakra Nangal dam project is an icon. Policy-makers, media persons and even ordinary people very often credit it with bringing about the Green Revolution. The irrigation waters from the extensive canal network of the project situated on the river Sutlej in Himachal Pradesh — it also taps water from the river Beas — is said to have turned Punjab and Haryana into the nation's bread baskets. In addition to preventing destructive floods, this multipurpose project irrigates the agricultural areas of Delhi,Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. The project generates 1 million kilowatt of hydro-electricity. The lake created by the dam is a 97 km long, 6 km wide reservoir named Gobindsagar.Though located in Himachal Pradesh, the entrance to this dam is at Nangal in Punjab
This documentary film was produced by Shantakaram Films for WAPCOS - Water And Power Consultancy Services to present the views of South East Asian Countries and Govt. of India on large dams, there benefits and there R&R problems in the '2nd World Water Summit' held in The Hague in Netherlands in February 2000. The world's worst recorded food disaster happened in 1943, when an estimated 4 million people in eastern India died. At the time, people believed the Bengal Famine happened because India's farmers could not produce enough food to feed everyone. Food security—ensuring sufficient food production to feed a country's people—became the Indian government's biggest priority. "Green Revolution" is the term that refers to the governmental focus on food production in India from 1967--1978. Previously, the country had focused on expanding the amount of land under cultivation, but as the population continued to increase at a much faster rate than food production, the government changed its focus. During the Green Revolution, attention turned to improving farming techniques. There were three basic parts of the Green Revolution in India: (1) expansion of farming areas; (2)double cropping technique; and (3) improved seed genetics. Double cropping, harvesting two crops per year, was the primary feature of India's Green Revolution and required a steady supply of water. To make this possible, the government began construction of a network of large dams. Dams are able to conserve ...
