MOTIF
SRI RAM SAGAR PROJECT
The Sri Ram Sagar Project is a multipurpose irrigation project constructed near
Pochampad (V) in Nizamabad district. The dam site is located 55 km. away from Nizamabad
and was built on Godavari River about 5 Km. Upstream of Sone Bridge on Hyderabad-
Nagpur National High Way near Pochampad (V).
The foundation stone of this project was laid on 26th July 1963 by the former honorable
Prime Minister of India Sri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
The project was envisaged to be constructed in two stages. As a result of Inter-state
accord on sharing of Godavari River water, the allocation for this project was increased from
66 TMC to more than 200 TMC. Accordingly, the scope of stage-I of the project was enlarged
by extending excavating Kakatiya canal up to Km. 284.00, Saraswathi Canal (Km.0.00 to
Km.47.000) and Laxmi canal (Km.0.00 to Km.3.50)
The Sriramasagar project under stage-I is contemplated to irrigate an ayacut of 9,68,640
acres in Nizamabad, Adilabad, Karimnagar and Warangal districts.
