At independence, in 1947, there were fewer than 300 large dams in India. By the year 2000 the number had grown to over 4000, more than half of them built between 1971 and 1989. India ranks third in the world in dam building, after US and China. While some of these dams were built primarily for flood control, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation, the primary purpose of most Indian dams remains irrigation.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, independent India's first prime minister, referred to dams as the "Temples of Modern India".

Nehru called dams 'impotant of modern India' in the sense that he was affirming a commitment to modernisation and socialism in post-Independence India. Whilst temples might be seen as mystical, traditional and ancient, dams signified rationality, progress and modernity.
