Being beckoned by the grand success of the Tennessee River valley Authority (TVA) in the U.S.A the Govt. of India constituted the first river valley project authority to harness the tremendous hidden potentialities of the untamed, wandering, capricious and deluging Damodar River through the establishment of the Damodar valley corporation in 1948. Again following the success story of D.V.C, in the Fifth Five year plan, to improve the utilization of created irrigation potential and to take requisite steps for increasing agricultural production the concept of command Area Development programme in integrated manner in selected major and medium irrigation projects in the country was introduced. The Gandak irrigation command area Development programme is progeny of above thinking and its execution rests with the Gandak command Area Development Agency. To understand the different facets of the area under study it has been divided into three parts Resource base study, Agricultural situation and infrastructure support facilities.
