Abstract

Gujarat ranks higher than other states in its share in the Indian economy. The economy in Gujarat state has always performed better than the National average. The economic performance of the State may be considered , as even more remarkable in view of the fact that the state has limited natural resources besides very limited mineral base. Even water resource are scarce with most of the rivers flowing through the state having reasonable water during rainy season only. Despite these limitations, the entrepreneurial nature of the people of the state and popular participation in development efforts has contributed significantly to rapid economic growth. To overcome, Sardar Sarovar Narmada Limited (SSNL) and Water Resource Development Corporation Ltd. Were established to boost the efforts, that even finally subscribed to rise in economic growth of the state substantially.

It will also irrigate 2,46,000 ha. of land in the strategic desert districts of Barmer and Jallore in Rajasthan and 37,500 ha. in the tribal hilly tract of Maharashtra through lift. About 75% of the command area in Gujarat is drought prone while entire command  in Rajasthan is drought prone. Assured water supply will soon make this area drought proof. 
  8. • A special allocation of 0.86 MAF of water has been made to provide drinking water to 131 urban centres and 9633 villages (53% of total 18144 villages of Gujarat) within and out-side command in Gujarat for present population of 28 million and prospective population of over 40 million by the year 2021. All the villages and urban centres of arid region of Saurashtra and Kachchh and all "no source" villages and the villages affected by salinity and fluoride in North Gujarat will be benefited. Water supply requirement of several industries will also be met from the project giving a boost to all-round production.
  9. • There are two power houses viz. River Bed Power House and Canal Head Power House with an installed capacity of 1200 MW and 250 MW respectively. The power would be shared by three states - Madhya Pradesh - 57%, Maharashtra - 27% and Gujarat 16%. This will provide a useful peaking power to western grid of the country which has very limited hydel power production at present.
  10. • A series of micro hydel power stations are also planned on the branch canals where convenient falls are available.
  11. • It will also provide flood protection to riverine reaches measuring 30,000 ha. covering 210 villages and Bharuch city and a population of 4.0 lac in Gujarat.
