Central Government which was present
in 1942 was established on the basis of
Indian Government act of 1935. According
to the act of 1935, issue of Water and
Electricity were under the authority of
Provinces and Princely States. Central
Government had the limitation in the
interference in the Administration of
Provinces and Princely States. But Dr B. R.
Ambedkar had taken the advantage of the
reconstruction program, which was
introduced in India after second world war.
He had accepted the policy by which,
instead of construction of small
Embankment on the river, complete valley
of the river must be developed.
 He was
having vision of the economic development
of India. He wanted to use the natural
resources in well manner so that India can
get more benefit. According to him Water is
wealth of country and it must be use with
proper planning.
Recommendations of Damodar River
Flood Enquiry Committee:-
Government of Bengal appointed the
Damodar River Flood Enquiry Committee.
On 3rd January, 1944 Conference was held in
the Bengal Secretariat in Culcutta. In that
conference, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar said that
Government of India, wished to evolve a
policy which would be utilize the water
resources of the Country to the best
advantage of every body. The problems of
flood control and soil conservation of every
states could be easily solved if the forest and
rivers are made to be under the control of
Central Government.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in his speech stated
that beside the irrigation, stopping the flood
and generating the electricity were also the
purposes of waterways policy. He argued
that India had not taken strong stand in fever
of waterways. According to him waterways
also be Nationalized as Railway. Though
there is no difference between railways and
waterways and if railways cannot be
subjected to provincial boundaries, neither
can waterways at any rate those that flow
from province to province. He further
mentioned the drawbacks of the provincial
authority on waterways that if one province
needs electricity and try to utilize its water
resources for the purpose but it cannot be do
so because the point at which water can be
dammed lies in another province which
being agricultural does not need electricity
and has no interest in it, or money to finance
the project, and would not allow the needy
province to use the site. This kind of
situation can create the tension among the
states. In such kind of situation water
 resources will not able to utilized in well
manner. Besides that, political war between
provinces will be increased which would be
dangerous for the unity of India. Unfriendly
attitude could be developed among the
States and it would be continue on the name
of Provincial Autonomy. Here, indirectly
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar supported to the
nationalization of Water resources.
 He also informed that Government of
India have been created Central technical
Power Board and it’s aim to create the
Central Water Ways Irrigation and
Navigation Commission to advise the
Provinces. Here, it’s get clear that Dr. B. R.
Ambedkar was very favorable to implement
such policy which helped for the economic
development of India. India was divided into
the several class, caste, religion and custom.
It was very difficult to unite them on one
issue. But then also one common issue, use
of water resources for the irrigation,
navigation can help to resolve the problem
of flood and famine of the provinces and it
can helped to unite provinces on same issue.
He advocated to Provincial government that,
all of them must be maintain the
coordination for the success of project which
will be introduces by the Government of
India.
Natural Wealth and its Management:-
According to Dr B. R. Ambedkar water
is the Natural wealth and it is the
responsibility of Country to conserve it. This
Natural wealth must be nationalized and it
must be distributed in well manner. Matter
of Water development must be consider on
national level. Problems of water should not
be consider on Local level or on provincial
level. It is the issue of Nation. And therefore
it should be resolve on the National level
only. Various rivers are runs through the
various provinces therefore Central
Government should take the responsibility
of these all rivers to be utilized as the
National natural resources. These were the
 recommendation of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. Dr
B. R. Ambedkar approved the Central Water
way and Irrigation Commission (CWINC) in
March 1944 and thereafter on 4th April 1945
it was approved by the Viceroy of India and
finally on 5th April, 1945 Central waterways,
Irrigation and Navigation Commission was
established in which Dr B. R. Ambedkar had
played an very important role.
To resolve
the problems of drought he had given the
best solution through this department. Credit
of the multipurpose Damodar Valley Project
and Hirakud Project goes to Dr B. R.
Ambedkar because under his leadership only these projects were approved.
