About Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) and International Dam Safety Conference
India ranks third globally with 5264 large dams in operation and about 437 are under construction. In addition, there are several thousand smaller dams. These dams are vital for ensuring the water security of the Country; and these also constitute a major responsibility in terms of asset management and safety. In April 2012, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation through Central Water Commission with an objective to improve safety and operational performance of selected dams, along with institutional strengthening with system wide management approach, embarked upon the six year Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) with World Bank assistance at a cost of INR 2100 Crore (US$M 437.5).
The International Dam Safety Conference - 2019 is a part of the series of Dam Safety Conferences organized earlier in Chennai (2015), Bengaluru (2016), Roorkee (2017), and Thiruvananthapuram (2018).
