A preliminary investigation for the Vidyul Dam Project wos completed in 1962 in a South- Asian country (here-in-after referred as country) and its design was completed in 1973 with a 600 MW capacity power plant. Construction began in 1979, but was delayed due to economic, environmental and social impacts. In year 1987. technical and financial assistance was provided by the neighbouring country to raid country after nigning of Mou, but this was interrupted just a year later with political instability. Hence, said country was forced to take control of the project and at the first, it was placed under the direction of the irrigation department of concerned home state of said country. However, in July 1989 the Vidyut Hydro Development Corporation Limited (VHDCI) was formed to manage 1.900 MW Vidyut Hydro Power Complex: wherein 75% stake held by union government and remaining 25% sake by concerned home state government. The 1.900 MW Vidyut Hydro Power Complex comprises of Page 74 of 186 67982 words English (United States) Type here to search BI 24C AQI 44 ^V D) ENG IN hp B Format Painter U abe x, X Aay.

The 1,000 MW Vidyut Hydro Power Plant (Vidyut HPP) was commissioned in 2007-08 as a multipurpose project, with variable speed features which can optimize the round-trip efficiency under varying water levels in its reservoirs. Power is distributed to 10 northern states (including concerned home state) of said country. The complex will afford irrigation to an area of 2,71,139 hectares (=6,70,000 acres), irrigation stabilization to an area of 6,07,028 hectares (=15,00,000 acres), and a supply of 270 million imperial gallons (1.23x106m) of drinking water per day. 162 million gallons of drinking water for around 4 million people of the neighbouring state, apart from 108 million gallons of drinking water for around 3 million people of the concerned home state. Due to regulated releases from the Vidyut storage reservoir, the existing downstream hydro projects are also benefited by way of augmentation in generation at no additional cost to them. Concerned home state also gets 15% of generated power as free. The total expenditure for this project was USD 1 billion. Since 2007-08, which was the first year of operation, VADCL has been a profit making company. age 14 of 186 68215 words LE English (United States) Type here to search 24C AQI 44 ENG IN Styles 6 7 10 12 14 15 The Vidyut Dam has been the object of protests by environmental organizations and local people of the region. The protest was against the displacement of town inhabitants and environmental consequences of the weak ecosystem. "We don't want the dam. The dam is the mountain's end" was the prominent slogan. The relocation of nearly 1.5 lakh people or may be even more, from the area has led to protracted legal battles over resettlement rights and, ultimately, resulted in the project's delayed completion despite the fact that land acquisition was started in 1980. There is no master plan for rehabilitation nor even a clear estimate of the number of people affected.

THIS ALL DONE AT PROJECT COST. In addition to the human rights concerns, the project has spurred concerns about the environmental consequences of locating such a large dam in the fragile ecosystem of the foothills of great mountain range. There are further concerns regarding the dam's geological stability. The Vidyut dam is in a major geologic fault zone. This region was the site of a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in September 1992, with an epicentre 55 km (34 mi) from the dam. Dam proponents claim that the complex is designed to withstand an earthquake of 8.4 magnitude, but some seismologists say that earthquakes with a magnitude of 8.5 or more could occur in this region. Were such a catastrophe to occur, the potentially resulting dam- break would submerge numerous towns downstream, whose populations total near half a million In spite of concerns and protestation, operation of the Vidyut Dam continues and is completed. But VHDCL was aware of these and tried to respond in a constructive way. The spirit of CSR initiative is depicted by its CSR initiative title 'VHDC Sahridaya' (Corporate with a Human heart), wherein focus areas are: Font Select Paragraph 516 Styles Editing 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Shiksha - Education Development Svasth - Nutritional Health and Sanitation and Drinking Water Projects Nipun - Livelihood Generation and Skill Development Initiatives Unnaati - Rural & Infrastructure Development Yogy. - Empowerment Initiatives Srrishti - Environment Protection Initiatives 1 Out of these 'VHDC Surishti" has some special mentions, 'Environment Focused Initiatives' is working with three objectives Soil & Water Conservation, Green Energy Generation & Technology Promotions and Environment Protection & Promotion. To conserve soil and water VHDCL is working on water harvesting and water harvesting tanks (capacity 3,000 litres each) were installed in the project affected villages for rainwater harvesting. Through this activity, beneficiaries were able to store almost 9 lakh litres of rainwater during monsoon. In addition, VHDCL under this program installed more than 730 LED based Solar Street Lights and more than 180 LED based Solar High Mast Lights in near- by towns and villages in year 2019-20.
