Dr. Harish Chand

Small Hydro power project, Sustainable Economic Development, Himachal.

Himalaya, the youngest mountain range on the Blue Planet, Earth. It is spread across like a sword from Jammu & Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh up to 2500 kms. Himachal Pradesh is a part of this mighty Himalayan range which is blessed with many fast flowing perennial rivers, forming many narrow gorges. This mountainous region is having great potential for hydro power generation. Small Hydro Electric Power (SHP) is one of the earliest known renewable energy resources being used in India and elsewhere in the world in various forms like water wheels for grinding, water lifting wheels etc. In India Small Hydro electric power has installation capacity up to 25 MW. 15000 MW potential has been estimated all India through 503 sites. In Himachal Pradesh a potential of approximately 2268MW is estimated to be Small Hydro electric power sector. Present study is based on the issues related with the sustainable economic development of society at micro level by developing small hydro power projects in Himachal Pradesh.
