‘ BHAKRA DAM INDIA’ , THE PRIDE OF INDIA HAS BEEN APTLY TERMED AS ‘ THE TEMPLE OF MODERN INDIA ‘ BY SH. JL NEHRU, THE PRIME MINISTER OF FREE INDIA IN 1963.
SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, INDIA HAD BEEN THE HOME TO NUMEROUS RELIGIOUS SHRINES.
HOWEVER , THIS SUPER MASSIVE STRUCTURE ONE OF THE TOP IN THE WORLD HAS PROVED TO BE THE REAL SHRINE .
I FEEL THRILLED TO HIGHLIGHT THE HITHERTO LESSER KNOWN FACTS OF INDIA’S SUCCESS STORIES.
WHY I AM SAYING SO ?
THE WORLD IS NOT AWARE THAT THIS DAM HAS USHERED INDIA INTO ‘THE GREEN REVOLUTION’, CONVERTING A ‘FOOD DEFICIT’ TO A ‘ FOOD SURPLUS’ COUNTRY BY HARNESSING THE WASTEFUL WATER OF ITS RIVERS FOR IRRIGATION AND POWER GENERATION FOR THE INDUSTRY.
THEREBY, GDP OF COUNTRY AND THE FORTUNES OF ITS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED TREMENDOUSLY.
NO LESS THAN A WONDER !!
