Soon after independence of our country the need to develop the infrastructure in the country was hard felt. As a result of the motivation by the policy makers of the nation at that time, sites and locations were shortlisted on priority basis for hydro projects, core sector industry, research and development, defence establishments etc. In an endeavour towards this, a small village nestled in the midst of Shivalik Hills on the banks of the river Sutlej was considered to be an ideal location for a Hydro power project. This idea mooted by a foreigner and proposed to the then Prime Minister gave birth to Bhakra Dam – often referred to as one of the ‘temples of modern India’. The artificial lake created upstream of the dam christened ‘Gobind Sagar’ is still considered as the biggest man-made lake in the world. With the coming up of Bhakra Dam and surplus power available from the hydel project, Govt. of India decided to set up Fertilizer Factory at Naya Nangal, which went on stream in 1961.
