Well, the Bhakra Dam and a few other projects were as you have so rightly pointed out thought to be the temples of modern India. And to quite an extent, they have been. I dont have the data at hand but they have been responsible for the huge hydro power potential that we have. By the way, hydro has the maximum power generation in India amongst all the non conventional sources of energy. Dams and reservoirs have also been used to bring water to the arid areas such as the Indira Gandhi Canal in Rajasthan.
However, at the same time, dams have also wreaked havoc in so many ways. Of course there is the environmental risk. However, what goes relatively unknown is the mass displacement of people. It would be much better if the GOvernment focused its energies on micro hydel projects. In other words, small dams instead of the large dams.
