Sardar Sarovar (Narmada) Project (SSP)

Background

The Narmada based Sardar Sarovar Dam is an inter-state project with the primary benefits of power
generation, irrigation and drinking water to be shared between Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra & Rajasthan. On the right bank of Sardar Sarovar Dam, a 450 Km. long Narmada Main
Canal with a head point capacity of 40,000 cusecs upto Rajasthan border is constructed. Total 38
branch canals offtake from the main Canal, which in turn provide off-take points for Distributaries,
Minors & Sub Minors to enable irrigation of total 18.19 Lac. Ha. Area in 75 talukas in 14 districts of
Gujarat. Two major branch canals, namely, Saurashtra Branch Canal and Kutch Branch Canal offtake
from the Main canal at ch.263 and ch.385 respectively. These canals convey the Narmada water to
the farthest parts of drought-prone Saurashtra region and arid Kutch region.
Projects supported by NABARD
The contribution of NABARD towards the construction of this massive project has been notable. The
important Sub-projects of Sardar Sarovar (Narmada) Irrigation Project supported by NABARD under
RIDF include the following:
1. Saurashtra Branch Canal
2. Kutch Branch Canal
3. Construction of Sub Minors in Five Phases

Saurashtra Branch Canal

The Project involves construction of Saurashtra Branch Canal (SBC) and its seven sub-branches for
transmission of water for irrigation and domestic use. The seven sub-branches are Narsingpura
branch canal, Maliya branch canal, Vallabhipur branch canal, Dhrangadhra branch canal, Morbi
branch canal, Limbdi branch canal and Botad Branch canal.

Kutch Branch Canal
The Kutch Branch Canal traverses through the Banaskantha / Patan district and Kutch district. While
the initial reach (Ch 0 to ch 82.30) lies in Banaskantha/Patan , the major portion from ch 82.30 to
357.158 runs through and tails into the district of Kutch. The project includes major irrigation works
such as completion of the ongoing and remaining works of KBC in Kutch District undertaken in
different reaches (from ch.82.30 to 357.158 kms), two sub branch canals including distributaries and
minors and construction of three pumping stations. The works involved earthwork, cement concrete
lining & structures and the entire project is proposed to be completed by 2016-17 in a phased

Under Ground Pipeline (UGPL) for the direct benefit of the farmers. The works mainly involved laying
of underground pipeline for sub-minors built on various distributaries and minors off taking from
the branch canals of Narmada Main Canal and controlled structures at off-take point of sub minors
to facilitate provision of designed discharge outlet for supplying water for irrigation to sub-chac (5-8
ha).
