The state government has been giving the highest priority for its development, since hydel generation can meet the growing need of power for industry, agriculture and rural electrification.
The board also set up several more hydel power stations within the state.
The major hydel power projects were shut down following torrential rains that hit the state.
It also supplies turbines for thermal, hydel and nuclear power plants.
Nagajhari hydel power station is approx 10 km from the settlement.
There is a small hydel plant located near the base that generates electricity for local use.
