BRIEF HISTORY OF DVC AND DVC PROFILE

INTRODUCTION

Damodar Valley Corporation is pioneer multipurpose river valley

project in Common Wealth Countries which was enacted in 1948 under

4

Act XIV 1948 by the Constituent Assembly of Independent India. Its

Command Area is expanded from Jharkhand (Upper Valley) and West

Bengal (Lower Valley) having its head quarter at Kolkata having its

functional Head Quarters at Maithon. Its prime business is to generate

Power. Apart from Power generation which happens to be principal

activity of the organization. DVC has performed its mandate assignment

effectively and played a significant role in the area of development of

agriculture, forestry, dam, navigation, ecological management sector by

way of providing irrigation facility to region concerned. DVC was the

Ecological Management 1st time in Asia as well as in Common Wealth

Countries, this concept was propounded by Dr.Meghnath Saha, a

prominent scientist of India. In addition DVC has also contributed in the

growth of national economy by supplying its surplus power to deficit

regions of the country.

Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), one of the first multipurpose

integrated river valley projects of independent India, came into being on

the 7th July 1948 by an Act of the Central Legislature. Initiated basically as

multipurpose project, D.V.C. has to shift its basic objectives. Though at

present, DVC has practically become synonymous with the power sector in

eastern India, it has been given due importance to the other

responsibilities assigned to it.

5

D.V.C. command area covers around 24,235 sq. Kms spreading over 14

districts (namely Hazaribagh, Koderma, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Giridhi, Chatra,

Palamau, Ranchi, Dumka, Burdwan, Hoogly, Howrah, Bankura and Purulia)

of Jharkhand AND West Bengal. DVC supplies power to the core sector

including Collieries, Steel Plants, Railways beside State Electricity Boards

of Jharkhand and West Bengal and other big and medium size industries of

the region.

ACHIVEMENTS OF DVCBATTLING THE FLOOD

The DVC Project has envisaged eight dams at Tilaiya, Maithon,

Balpahari, Bokaro, Panchet, Aiyee, and Bermo, but due to financial and other

reasons the Govt. approved the construction of only four dams at Tilaiya,

Konar, Maithon, and Panchet.

All the DVC dams are located in upper valley. These dams absorb the

flood flows and help to control the floods by regulating the discharge of water

from dams. Maithon and Panchet have controlled a numbers of major floods in

the lower valley.

The water discharge of the Dams of DVC is controlled by Central

Government of India.

Major Flood Control measures :

Recording of storm and rain forecast.

Data from ten gauge and discharge recording station all rainfall data of

previous 24 Hrs. ending at 08.30 AM are received and recorded at Maithon

Control Room.

Discharge from reservoir is regulated as per reservoir regulation manual.

Flood warning is issued before and after discharge to the Civil Coal Mines

authorities and SDO.

17

IRRIGATION

The DVC planned to extend the irrigation facilities to one million

acres / 404,707 hectares including 2.2 Lakh acres / 0.89 Lakh hectares

from the old Anderson vein and the Eden Canal System in the district of

Burdawan and Hoogly but due to various reasons the extension of

irrigation are as during 1977-78 was 8.03 Lakh hectares.

In the case of Rabi irrigation it was previously planned to irrigate 3 Lakh

acres / 1.21 hectares during Rabi season but during 1977-78 water has

been supplied to 1.62 Lakh hectares.

On the conservation estimate it can be claimed that annual crop value of

Kharif and Rabi irrigated in the DVC command area is less than Rs. 80/-

Crores.

FISHERY The fishery department was stated in 1950. The storage reservoirs of

DVC have a total Production Potential about 600 tones of fish per annum.

Activities during the year involved stoking, conservation and exploration of

fish in the reservoirs of DVC.

For reservoir fishery a total of 15.56 Lakh of EMC fingerlings

was released in the different reservoirs while total revenue of Rs. 7,74,738

was earned from the fishery license holders who did the actual catching of fish

in the reservoirs under the Fish Seed Hatchery Programmer engineering

works is in progress at Maithon and fish firms.

CROCODILE PROJECT The Crocodile Project of DVC at Tilaiya and Konar was

taken up in the year 1981–82. primarily at measures for development of

tourism in the valley area to start with 30 Crocodiles of both sexes were

produced and were released at Chacharo Island. Now Crocodiles Palastriol are

being maintained at Chacha Nehru Island Tilaiya mainly for the purpose of

conservation and tourism.

Deer Park DVC has set up a deer park in Chandrapura Thermal Power Station and

Maithon, for the protection and conservation of the species as well as tourism.

20

NAVIGATION The navigation system of DVC is under the control of Ministry of Surface

Transport, Government of India.

REHABILIATION DVC was committed to resettle 20,000 families who were

displaced due to construction of dams. The construction of Tilaiya dam alone

displaced 40,339 families.

For resettlement people were given loan for land, houses or cash

compensation according to their choice. People of the locality got priority at

the time of master roll and work charge employment. In the construction

phase most of the people were recruited from respective localities.

For rehabilitation villagers near Tilaiya had been set up at Panchet

Madho, Bacchai, Signraw and Gauiri Kaama. DVC adopted two villages named

Bhursabad in Giridih and Layakdih in Puriliya under the Social Obligation

Programme. The villages are benefited with amenities like electrification and

water arrangement. The scheme had further been improved with provision of

distribution of books and sources of entertainment of local people.

DVC has setup a department namely, Directorate of Rehabilitation and

Land Acquisition at Hazaribagh for the rehabilitation and land acquisition

purpose.

32

SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis

STRENGTHS :

DVC is the first multipurpose integrated river valley projects of

independent India. Its major strength of it is the special place, which it holds in the heart of

the people of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Since it is there for social welfare not for the profit

33

oriented view, it has a great hold on both the Central Government and the State Governments

of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The strengths of this “Public Ltd.” can be listed as below:

Strategically located in the rural area.

Well organized organizational structure.

Production of power at very low cost.

Location of each of its Power Plants, are such that, basic resources like “Coal” and

“Water” is available in abundant and at low cost.

Since DVC sells its product in bulk, so have a less number of customers, which gives

it an edge to deal with these customers.

It is providing several benefits to its employees, so it has ‘loyal’ employees.

DVC’s own transmission network.

Hydel power stations are one of the stronger part of DVC.

WEAKNESSES :

The weaknesses of this organization can be listed as following:

Most of the power generated by DVC is going to National Grid, where it has a less

control over its distribution.

Since DVC is giving power to the State Boards of Electricity of the State

Governments, like that of Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal and Orissa. It sometimes

has face problems to collect the price of its product.

It is not gaining any profit from the supply of irrigation water.

DVC has to face communication problem, since its most of the Plants are located in

the rural area.

Unionization has the adverse effect on the smooth working of the organization.

OPPORTUNITY :

34

Following are the opportunities for DVC:

The need of electricity in our country is growing day by day, so DVC can grow in

future.

DVC has built a number of Dams, for the purpose of flood control. These dams can

be developed as tourist place (like Maithon,Konar Dam).

DVC is looking for same kind of projects nearby states like Orissa and Madhya

Pradesh.

Due to good relation between our country and Bangladesh, it is looking forward to

sell its product in Bangladesh.

THREATS :

Following are the threats for DVC

Most of the production of power in DVC is from its Thermal Power Plants, and the

existence of coal is in threat.

Due to transportation of coal through road causes pollution from coal dust. Many

local social organizations are now protesting it.

Dams constructed by DVC for controlling the floods in the river Damodar, are now

threats to the environment.

A large number of potential competitors may enter into the market like ‘TATA’ and

‘Reliance’ ‘NTPC’, which may cause a problem for the organization.

Due to its high production cost, it may be difficult to get sanctioned the further

projects by the ‘Ministry of Power’ in the future.

CONCLUSION Safe place to work.

35

Most of works done in Accounts, HR Department and Finance

Department is manually. Data redundancy is common practice in

Account Department. It should be removed.

Employees need more Training facilities

Must pay attention towards there requirement at proper time.. Canteen food not up to mark. Communication gap Coordination among the employees Transport facilities Trained and efficient worker required

D.V.C has provided with a homely atmosphere to the employees. All facilities which one requires for working in an organization are provided to them. The conclusion stands here that D.V.C is a a very good place to work. D.V.C takes care of the employee and their family every time no matter the employee working there is alive or dead.
