Thein Dam in Pathankot is known as Ranjit Sagar Dam which is a component of a mega hydro power plantbuilt by Punjab Government across the Ravi River at the boundary of Jammu, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, the three states of India. The power plant is located in Pathankot district of Punjab and this project site is in tehsil Basholi, district Kathua, Jammu, India. The case study was done in November, 2019. Only one unit was found in operation, out of four installed at this Hydel Power Project. Total installed capacity of this project is 600 MW. This paper features the significance of mega Hydel Projects with a Case investigation of Ranjit Sagar Dam Project and will push a great deal to the future scientists in the zone of sustainable power source generation which is a critical need of the day.
