As a documentry film maker on developmental issues for last 10 years in India, I am worried about the impacts of large hydro-power (Dams) in India. Having said that, the development should be prioritiesed for Individual as well as nation. So, the policy makers should balance the requirements before constructing large hydropower structures. There is a strong consensus for small hydro power and India should focus on this aspect. Thanks Avilash for this indepth report on hydro-power. India’s Hydropower article is timely and worth reading.

As usual, big companies are all lined up to capture this boom. As Avilash pointed that India will achieve hydro power. There is an urgent need to look into environmental factors. As the hydro project in Himachal pradesh has created ecological problems. Plus the benefit of employment generation to the local people is not much... There is a need to look into comprehensive details of Hydro power where people should benefit apart from electricity... India’s hydro power is next big boom for India.
