The Narmada Valley Project is a large-scale water resource development initiative in India, aimed at harnessing the waters of the Narmada River. It includes the construction of several dams, the most notable being the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which provides irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric power to the surrounding regions. This project is designed to improve agricultural productivity and support economic development in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. However, it has also faced criticism and protests due to its environmental impact and the displacement of local communities.
