INTRODUCTION
Damodar Valley Corporation is pioneer multipurpose river valley project in
Common Wealth Countries which was enacted in 1948 under Act XIV 1948
by the Constituent Assembly of Independent India. Its Command Area is
expanded from Jharkhand (Upper Valley) and West Bengal (Lower Valley)
having its head quarter at Kolkata having its functional Head Quarters at
Maithon. Its prime business is to generate Power. Apart from Power
generation which happens to be principal activity of the organization. DVC
has performed its mandate assignment effectively and played a significant
role in the area of development of agriculture, forestry, dam, navigation,
ecological management sector by way of providing irrigation facility to
region concerned. DVC was the Ecological Management 1 st time in Asia as
well as in Common Wealth Countries, this concept was propounded by
Dr.Meghnath Saha, a prominent scientist of India. In addition DVC has also
contributed in the growth of national economy by supplying its surplus
power to deficit regions of the country.
Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), one of the first multipurpose
integrated river valley projects of independent India, came into being on the
4

7th July 1948 by an Act of the Central Legislature. Initiated basically as

multipurpose project, D.V.C. has to shift its basic objectives. Though at
present, DVC has practically become synonymous with the power sector in
eastern India, it has been given due importance to the other responsibilities
assigned to it.
D.V.C. command area covers around 24,235 sq. Kms spreading over 14
districts (namely Hazaribagh, Koderma, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Giridhi, Chatra,
Palamau, Ranchi, Dumka, Burdwan, Hoogly, Howrah, Bankura and Purulia) of
Jharkhand AND West Bengal. DVC supplies power to the core sector
including Collieries, Steel Plants, Railways beside State Electricity Boards of
Jharkhand and West Bengal and other big and medium size industries of the
region.

ACHIVEMENTS OF DVC
BATTLING THE FLOOD
The DVC Project has envisaged eight dams at Tilaiya, Maithon,
Balpahari, Bokaro, Panchet, Aiyee, and Bermo, but due to financial and other
reasons the Govt. approved the construction of only four dams at Tilaiya, Konar,
Maithon, and Panchet.
All the DVC dams are located in upper valley. These dams absorb the flood
flows and help to control the floods by regulating the discharge of water from
dams. Maithon and Panchet have controlled a numbers of major floods in the
lower valley.
The water discharge of the Dams of DVC is controlled by Central
Government of India.

16

Major Flood Control measures :

Recording of storm and rain forecast.
Data from ten gauge and discharge recording station all rainfall data of
previous 24 Hrs. ending at 08.30 AM are received and recorded at Maithon
Control Room.
Discharge from reservoir is regulated as per reservoir regulation manual.

Flood warning is issued before and after discharge to the Civil Coal Mines
authorities and SDO.

IRRIGATION
The DVC planned to extend the irrigation facilities to one million
acres / 404,707 hectares including 2.2 Lakh acres / 0.89 Lakh hectares from
the old Anderson vein and the Eden Canal System in the district of Burdawan
and Hoogly but due to various reasons the extension of irrigation are as
during 1977-78 was 8.03 Lakh hectares.
In the case of Rabi irrigation it was previously planned to irrigate 3 Lakh
acres / 1.21 hectares during Rabi season but during 1977-78 water has been
supplied to 1.62 Lakh hectares.
On the conservation estimate it can be claimed that annual crop value of
Kharif and Rabi irrigated in the DVC command area is less than Rs. 80/Crores.

Transport, Government of India.

REHABILIATION
DVC was committed to resettle 20,000 families who were
displaced due to construction of dams. The construction of Tilaiya dam alone
displaced 40,339 families.
For resettlement people were given loan for land, houses or cash
compensation according to their choice. People of the locality got priority at the
time of master roll and work charge employment. In the construction phase
most of the people were recruited from respective localities.
For rehabilitation villagers near Tilaiya had been set up at Panchet Madho,
Bacchai, Signraw and Gauiri Kaama. DVC adopted two villages named
Bhursabad in Giridih and Layakdih in Puriliya under the Social Obligation
Programme. The villages are benefited with amenities like electrification and
water arrangement. The scheme had further been improved with provision of
distribution of books and sources of entertainment of local people.

20

DVC has setup a department namely, Directorate of Rehabilitation and

Land Acquisition at Hazaribagh for the rehabilitation and land acquisition
purpose.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis
STRENGTHS :
DVC is the first multipurpose integrated river valley projects of independent India. Its major
strength of it is the special place, which it holds in the heart of the people of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Since it
is there for social welfare not for the profit oriented view, it has a great hold on both the Central Government and
the State Governments of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The strengths of this Public Ltd. can be listed as below:

Strategically located in the rural area.

Well organized organizational structure.

Production of power at very low cost.

31

Location of each of its Power Plants, are such that, basic resources like Coal and Water is available in
abundant and at low cost.

Since DVC sells its product in bulk, so have a less number of customers, which gives it an edge to deal
with these customers.

It is providing several benefits to its employees, so it has loyal employees.

DVCs own transmission network.

Hydel power stations are one of the stronger part of DVC.

WEAKNESSES :
The weaknesses of this organization can be listed as following:

Most of the power generated by DVC is going to National Grid, where it has a less control over its
distribution.

Since DVC is giving power to the State Boards of Electricity of the State Governments, like that of
Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa. It sometimes has face problems to collect the price of its
product.

It is not gaining any profit from the supply of irrigation water.

DVC has to face communication problem, since its most of the Plants are located in the rural area.

Unionization has the adverse effect on the smooth working of the organization.

OPPORTUNITY :
Following are the opportunities for DVC:

The need of electricity in our country is growing day by day, so DVC can grow in future.

DVC has built a number of Dams, for the purpose of flood control. These dams can be developed as
tourist place (like Maithon,Konar Dam).

DVC is looking for same kind of projects nearby states like Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.

32

Due to good relation between our country and Bangladesh, it is looking forward to sell its product in
