Arunachal Pradesh, ‘the land of dawn lit mountain’ is the largest state in the north eastern region of India, with an area of 83,743 Sq.Km. Geographically Arunachal Pradesh is bounded by Bhutan to the west, Myanmar to the east, China to the North and the plains of Assam to the South; stretching from snow-capped Himalayan range to the plains of Brahmaputra valley. There are four major river basins in the state namely Kameng, Subansiri, Siang, Dibang and Lohit river basin. As per comprehensive CEA/CWC (Govt. of India) studies, the Hydro power potential of Arunachal Pradesh is assessed to be around 67,000 MW. However, this huge potential is yet to be realised. Besides, the major river systems, the state is also blessed with numerous small to middle sized rivers with favourable Hydropower development parameters like available head, ample perennial discharge etc. viz the Tawang Chu, Nyamjangchu, Panyor, Sissiri, Kamle, Dihing etc. Additionally the state is criss crossed with small rivulets throughout its length and breadth, which are perennial in nature and provide ideal condition for developing projects in the category of micro/mini and small SHP.
