The dam was constructed between 1953 and 1962 and is operated by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC).<\/p>\n<p>The main purpose of the dam is to generate hydroelectric power. The dam has an installed capacity of 1,000 MW. It also provides irrigation water to about 1.2 million hectares (3.0 million acres) of land and flood control to the Damodar Valley.<\/p>\n<p>The dam has been criticized for its environmental impact.
