The Sardar Sarovar Dam, situated in Kevadiya, Navagam, Gujarat, is a gravity dam constructed on the Narmada River. The foundation stone for this engineering marvel was laid by the late Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on April 5, 1961. Commencing in 1979, the project aimed at generating hydroelectric power and enhancing irrigation facilities. Utilizing cutting-edge engineering technology, the dam boasts the distinction of employing the world’s second-largest cable crane in terms of span. Globally, it ranks as the second-largest dam by the volume of concrete used and features the world’s longest canal network. Remarkably, it has a water-carrying capacity of 40,000 cusecs, surpassing the volume of water in most rivers in Gujarat. Visitors have the opportunity to engage with the dam’s surroundings by availing the services of a guide from the dam reception. The guided tour covers six key points, including a garden, the foundation stone, the first lock gate, a boating lake, and a trekking point for adventure enthusiasts.
