Pochampad village, Balkonda mandal, Nizamabad district, Telangana

Foundation stone for this project was laid by first prime minister of India Sri Jawaharlal Nehru. It is an irrigation project across river Godavari in Andhra Pradesh and it irrigates around 4.00 lakh acres of land in Nizamabad,Karimnagar,Warangal and Adilabad Districts. Gutpa and Alisagar lift irrigation schemes in Nizamabad district feeded by the back water of this project.
