It was constructed between 1955 and 1969, and is the second-largest dam in India by volume. The dam&#8217;s primary purpose is to provide irrigation for over 12 million hectares of land in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It also generates hydroelectric power, controls floods, and promotes industrial development.<\/p>\n<p>The dam has been controversial since its construction. Critics have argued that it has displaced thousands of people, caused environmental damage, and exacerbated water disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. However, the dam has also been praised for its economic benefits and for helping to improve the lives of millions of people.<\/p>\n<p>The Nagarjuna Sagar Dam <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n           <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>          <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> is a complex and controversial project.
