Academic Excursion at NHPC Teesta Low Dam Project- III

5/6/2018

 
With support from National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), we conducted an academic excursion to the giant 'Teesta Low Dam Project III' (TLDP- III) at Rambi, North Bengal, on 6th May, 2018 with a team of 100 heads, including students, teachers, professors and SWAN members.
 
Top NHPC engineers, officials and environmentalists accompanied the excursion team to demonstrate the scientific and operational aspects of the hydro power generation unit of Government of India worth approximately Rs 2,000 crore.
 
The team was awestruck learning about the huge dams made to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 9.5, the amazing ‘Fish Ladder’, the huge spillway gates, the turbines as big as a four storey building, and the stored water of 33 meters height! The impact on the environment and the necessary rehabilitation measures were also discussed.
 
We are also thankful to the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) for their extreme cooperation and selfless help.
 We are thankful to NHPC for sharing the photographs of the event as photography by visitors is restricted at the facility due to security purposes.
