Our
past experience goes to establish that it is difficult
to get clearance of storage projects by Environment
Directorate due to submergence of reserved forests,
sanctuaries, habitation and protection of rare species.
Hence we should convert these with Run off the River
Schemes. One big scheme and one small scheme shoule
be taken up together in the first phase Departmentally
so that the expertise of the Department may be utilised
and the younger generation may be trained.

Simultaneously,
one project each in the public sector and private sector
should also go side by side so that the hydro power is
harnessed by the combine efforts early. Projects to be
given in the public/private sector should be identified
and independent work should be carried out by them right
from the very beginning. |
