India is home to some of the world's most sizeable river diversion infrastructure with about 6281 dams. These dams are vital for ensuring the water security of the country and constitute a major responsibility in terms of asset management and safety. The Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation through Central Water Commission (CWC) is coordinating and supervising implementation of Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP), with financial assistance from the World Bank and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.

The Project Development Objective is to increase the safety of selected dams in participating States and to strengthen dam safety management in India through institutional strengthening. The DRIP phase -1 was implemented during April 2012 to March 2021. Capacity building of CWPRS (DRIP phase I) has been carried out successfully by procuring various equipment and software utilizing an amount of Rs.9.88 crores. Now, Proposal has been submitted under DRIP –II & III.
