Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC)<br />
Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) came into existence by an act <strong>of</strong> the Central Legislature on 7th July<br />
1948 as the first Multi-purpose Integrated River Valley Project in India. At the time <strong>of</strong> its inception, the<br />
objectives were flood control, providing water for irrigation and other uses, generation, transmission and<br />
distribution <strong>of</strong> electricity, eco-conservation and afforestation and socio-economic well being <strong>of</strong> the people<br />
residing in and around DVC Projects.<br />
With the passage <strong>of</strong> time and shift in National priorities, power generation with associated transmission<br />
and bulk distribution gained priority in DVC in view <strong>of</strong> its locational advantage and today DVC is<br />
considered as one <strong>of</strong> the major power utility in the Eastern Region. Other objectives <strong>of</strong> DVC, however,<br />
received due importance as part <strong>of</strong> its overall responsibility.<br />
