Proposals : 1. Change the design of the project to reduce the areas of submergence. 2. Most of the areas that would be submerged fall in 5th Schedule. 3. From the 7.20 lakh acres of ayacut area under the project, around 4 lakh acres are already being irrigated by Thatipudi and Pushkara lift irrigation projects. Therefore water should be provided only for another 3 lakh acres. 80 tmc water should be given to Krishna delta while 263 tmc must be given to Godavari delta. All this is possible with a change in design. 4. The shortfall in power generation due to change in design can be offset by other projects on Godavari like Icchampally, Kantalapally or Dummugudem. 5. The tribals who will have to be shifted from Scheduled areas to non-Scheduled areas will suffer loss of their rights. 6. There are large deposits of iron ore in the to be submerged areas. Already agreements have been made with Jindal company. There will be serious environmental damage if large scale extraction is done here. 7. The centre has by its ordinance transferred 230 villages in Bhadrachalam constituency of Telangana to the residual state of Andhra Pradesh. The tribals will suffer a lot due to this measure. | ||

Polavaram Project: Background Polavaram Project is a multi-purpose irrigation project which has been accorded national project status by the central government. This dam across the Godavari River is under construction in West Godavari District and East Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh state and its reservoir spreads in parts of Chhattisgarh and Orissa States also. The first conceptual proposal for the project was made in 1940 by the erstwhile Madras Presidency. After completing the survey, they marked the reservoir’s Full Reservoir Level at a height of 208 ft. The project was christened as Ramapada Sagar project since the backwaters of the reservoir would touch the Lord Rama temple at Bhadrachalam. Nothing much happened after that. In 1981, the then chief minister of Congress government T Anjaiah laid the foundation stone. A comprehensive report was prepared in 1982. A total of 2310 metre long dam has to be built. After taking it up once again in 2005, the dam is being built in Ramayyapet village of Polavaram mandal in West Godavari district. It is around 34 km beyond Kovvur-Rajamundry bridge. The ayacut area (irrigation extent) of the project would be around 7,20,000 acres and the power generation expected is 960 MW. The right canal is around 174 km in Krishna district. The expected benefits include irrigation of 3.60 lakh acres with a flow of 17500 cusecs; provision of drinking water to 540 villages etc. The construction has been stopped due to court cases filed by neighbouring states Chattisgarh and Orissa and the agitation launched by people in the areas that would be submerged due to this project. Rs 4298 crore out of the estimated Rs 16010 crore has been spent till December 2011. The government is exhibiting a rigid stand of completing the project no matter what costs. Despite there being clear alternatives to reduce the extent of land that would be submerged, the government is not prepared to explore those options. |
