'''Description'''<br />
<br />
* Height: 38 meters<br />
* Width: 230 meters<br />
* Cost estimate: [[Indian rupee|INR]] 2.5 billion<br />
<br />
'''Implementing companies:'''<br />
* NPCC for earthen dam, spillways and canal<br />
* R M Sinha & Co for power house and water supply<br />
<br />
'''Present Status:'''<br />
* Although the project has been inaugurated in 2010 by Smt. Sonia Gandhi, the irrigation canal is functional up to a few kilometres downstream, and the remaining part remains dry. <br />
* The proposed hydroelectricity generation from the project never materialise. As of today not a single unit of electricity is generated from the dam. Paradoxically, no power house for generating electricity existed till today i.e. 17 March 2021 and may never be.<br />
