Gandhi Sagar Dam :-
Gandhi Sagar Dam is a part of the Chambal project. The Gandhi Sagar dam is one of the four dams built on the Chambal river. Other three dams are Rana Pratap Sagar dam, Jawahar Sagar dam and Kota Barrage. The dam is located in Mandsaur district of the state of Madhya Pradesh. Its height is 62.17 meters (240 ft) and length is 514 meters (1686 ft). Its reservoir has the gross capacity of 7.322 billion cubic meters from a catchment area of 22584 square kilometer (8720 square miles). The hydroelectric power station is located at the toe of the dam on the right bank. The Gandhi Sagar dam and the power station were built at a total cost of about Rs. 2.3 billion. The dam's foundation stone was laid down by India's first Prime Minister Mr Jawahar Lal Nehru on 7th March 1954 and the construction of the main dam was completed in 1960. Additional dam structures were completed downstream in the 1970s.
The dam's reservoir area is the second largest in India (after the Hirakud reservoir). It attracts a large number of migratory and non-migratory birds throughout the year.
