Jawaharlal Nehru wanted India to be self-reliant country to overcome the handicap of its colonial past.

That is why he launched the multipurpose projects that not only controls flood but also useful in irrigation, power generation, fish breeding etc. These projects were considered to bring development in villages and make a modern India.
The dam s were an important symbol Of these projects and consequently of the modernisation of India. that is why Nehru called dams as the 'Temple of Modern India'.
