CHUKHA HYDEL PROJECT

CHUKHA HYDEL PROJECT IS THE another project I was associated . This project is in BHUTAN and this constructed under Indo-Bhutan treaty under Indian Aid.

The objective of this project is to produce Electricity and that will feed to eastern grid and India will get surplus current from Bhutan by purchase.The aid amount will be utilised for the purchse of electricity. The river is perennial one.
The dam was proposed at Chimakoti village. From the dam water will be diverted thro' tunnels to a fall of more than 300 mts to Chukha Power house and electricity will be produced .

Construction . The actual project was commenced in the year 1974, and I was associated with the pr0ject from the begginning

.It was Nov 2003 and Iwas at my worksite at Kadra which is in Karwar Dt in Karnataka and it is interior village and one bus will fly once in a day to near by Londa town. The population of that place is hardly 50- 75 people. My work is connected with River Kali observation Survey. I joined duty only on October 2003 . I got the standing order of releive from duty by the evening of Dec 31st and I had to proceed for joinning duty at Chukha Hydel Project immediately.I was thrilled to work in a project outside the country . Before proceeding I have got some personnel works to complete. I took 40 days leave,

In Feb 74 I joined Duty at Phuntsholing the gate way of Bhutan.

Farakka Barrage

Farakka Barrage .This is one of the biggest project Independant India Constructed in 60's.

What is Barrage. A barrage is the structure constructed on a river which has multiple usage of river flow as well as provision for vehicular movement also included in the construction.

Farakka is located in the borders of banglaDesh.erstwhile East Pakistan. Farakka is located on the banks of River Ganges. On the other side of the bank is Khejuriaghat. The width of River here is 1.5 K.M. The mode of transport for crossing the river is Stream ferries. The rail link from Calcutta terminates at Farakka and the passengers will be ferried to other side Khejuriaghat and train journey will be resumed.The Cars and jeeps will also ferried to other side.
The main important point is this is vital point for connecting North eastern States.
The hoogly river o f calcutta is filled with back water of Sea.There is a proposal to divert some quantity of Ganges water into this to make Hoogly river pleasent.There is very urgent need of Transport fecility for the defence purpose.
The barrage was designed to divert some quantity of water to River Hoogly and Road and Rail transport fecility.
Barrage :- The barrage length is about 1.5 KM and having provision of 4 way lane and 2 way rail line.
Provision given for raising the river water level to certain level so as to divert part of Ganges water to Hoogly river through Diversion Canal.A regulator was constructed on Farakka side .
It has pass thro Junghipur barrage.A very large Guide bund was constructed on Khejuria ghat side to prevent flood water enter into the nearby villages at the time flood as well as due rise in the water level.

The work of Farakka Barrage was started in the year 1965 and I was recruited there in 1967. When I joined in the project 3 piers on the left ( Khejuriaghat) side and 3 piers on Right(Farakka) side was completed.and further 12 piers were on under construction in left side ,out of 108 piers.

Two agencies were involved for construction. NPCC (National Project Construction Company, Govt of India under taking), and H.C.C ( Hindusthan construction Company, a Bombay Firm).

A Russian firm was doing experiment on Cellular cofferdam method. The Cellular cofferdam is a temporary method of of diverting river water in the middle of river so as to enable construction of barrage can be taken up without diverting river. The river water can flow on the both the sides leaving middle portion dry to take up the construction work.

In the two years of experiment of cellular cofferdam was failed miserably. In the mean time the traditional method of constructing cofferdam was discussed with the contractors HCL ltd and instead of construction of planned bays of bays of barrage for the year 1967-68 the area covered for construction will be doubled and the company will be given bonus amount of extra 1 lakh per bay for bays completed over the target projected for that year.

The earthen cofferdam was completed for in two phases ie first after completing as per programme so has to commence the work by Company and further coffer dam work continued so as to cover further bays. In that way two season work was completed in one season.

After seeing the sucess of this method next season work was completed in this way. In history of India this is first time a Project was completed in before time. The employees were given one

month salary as bonus/ incentive ,what ever you call.

River Flow Survey

River flow survey. It is the survey the Central Water commission undertakes every day in the all surface flowing rivers in our country. The main function of this survey is to assess the exact quantity of water available in the rivers irrespective of small or big.The another important work is to forecast the incoming flood to the places where river flows minimum 2 days in advance.The state Government always depend upon this forecast.

The Central Water commission established gauge sites in many points for one river so as to avoid human error as well as to asertain accuracy of flow. The data will be collected for particular river point for more than 10 years and then it will be shifted to other place of river.If the particular place is important the gauge site will be permanent and gauge observation will be taken without any interruption.
The river flow Survey is taken either by float system or by current meter system. Before establishing the gauge site a straight reach of min 1oo mts length is chosen. Before this reach there must not be curve in the river. In the chosen point A gauge post will be fixed. The base level will be fixed according MSL of the area,by undertaking level Survey. The point selected will be Centre line of gauge station. From this point 100 mtr up& down further two points will be fixed ,and gauge poles will be fixed.
Fixing of gauge post The gauge post is wooden post with metreement measur plate fixed on it.The gauge post will be fixed in such a way it will corrulate with each other. The first post will be inside the river indicating the river level. Every 5mtr distance the gauge post will be fixed on the central point.and the points selected in the upstream as well as downstream side from river watel level to top of bund.Every day at 8AM.12.00 noon,6.00PM the water level will be observed.At 8.00AM the flow of river will be observered.The river cross section is 3 times in a year in the 3 sections at 1o mtr interval and depending upon the surfaceof the river, in May (lean season before rain),Aug ( Rainy /flood season),October (After flood season) Flow observation The river velocity is taken either by float method ,by current meter etc. The will be biffercated by available means into 5mtr/10mtr depending upon the width of river.A visible float will be sent passing thro' the point( av.3 times).The time taken to cross from U/s side to D/s side point will be noted.This process will be done in all the points covering entire river water surface. The entire process will take 3 hrs time.
Then after wards the paper work starts based on the site observation for calculating the flow of river and velocity( speed) of the river and quantity of water passing in the river on this particular day and after calculation the result will be conveyed to main central station by wireless method.
Water samples will be collected daily and it will be analysed daily in the site office for the suspended particles as well as sand particles it is carrying . The sample water collected daily from the river will be sent to main division office for analysing chemical particles.
I am proud to associate this work from the field side for more than 3 years.The river is Wain Ganga ,a tributory to Godavari River and another Tributory to Mahi river. during my service life.
.

Service

Service The question arises occasionnally as we are going to manyplaces at times we are appreciating many things that attracts us. the way the things arranged in a beautiful way, the things conducted and the cleaniness of the place was maintained. We long for cleaniness. In some places we are hurt by the way the place is kept. Especially the place of worship. People appreciates the clean , but they are not following the basic principle.Simply they are following others for sake of convenience.If we take example The containner of prasadam say paper/leaf is thrown conveniently nearby place.The blaming game among the people is common. While blaming the others they refuse to see them in that angle,as they also part of that incident.

During my latest visit I came across the awareness in this field. Some high working executives has formed one group and they select one temple everymonth and doing some cleaning works of the temple premises. This they are doing regularly. Material help to Spastic children like colour boxes etc are being distributed.
You can also try in a small way. And you will feel the difference.

Why

Why is the small word .90 % of human beings are taking and accepting the things as it is. On that basis there are running their life.Why is the important word for the life improvement. Whenever you come across anything you must not accept on that face value.Ask the question why? How it has been there?

By asking question You are not a laughing stuff ,but you upgrading yourself in the knowledge . You will not be ignorant of fundamental principles. Why to follow the things although you feel good without understanding the basic knowledge. By asking why ,you can able to understand the things and you can follow still vigourously and confidently.

Why people are not asking why? Although they want to ask but due to fear complexion or inferior/superiority complex they refuse to ask. It is high time that is everybody must start asking this question .

Economic Crisis

Today As a layman I want to express my view on this subject . What is crisis? Materials not selling as per projection and profit is not sweeling day by day to the manufactures. Why
The money so hard earned are not for swindling,still he purchases out of compulson which manufactures exploits. Ex.The Bru Refill used to Rs 10, Suddenly due scarcity of coffee in the world it has increased to 3 fold. the coffee crisis ended as prices has fallen down to more or less old level. The Bru company never has reduced ,but it started giving a plastic/glass tumblers worth Rs 2/= as gift and retai n the profit level to the highest. The company fellows thinks purchasing people are fools. Naturally the consumer will think twice before purchasing and he
will purchase alternative to suit his budget. The surf at introduction was very good and at later stage the quality reduced and they introduce old quality in new brand name with hiked price and this process is continuing So people changes brands to suit their budget.
The educational expences are sky rocketting,and the parents are getting nervous as because it can not be avoided in this competitive world. They have to tighten the belt in some other expenses.

One man can not purchase all the things all the time. He has got limit,whatever may be his earnings,and the his dwellings are going smaller smaller per day and reverse the maintainance and rent.

Retirement Contd

In continuing retirement policy, In my old organisation ,the people retiredfrom higherest posts gone for begging in other organisation after retirement for amount equivalent ts their pension amount or less is being humilated by the present as well as parent organisation's lower grade employees. Why this sufferings,whether is it necessary? That people doing post retirement works simply for prestige/time passing. Am I severe? or jealousy NO . The explanation received from pro retirement worker is Why waste the knowled ge? Yes D'nt waste. My suggestion to them import that knowledge to willing people either by discussion or by writing notes and handover. There will be more willing peoples to accept the gesture

Retirement -cont'd

The retirement is being viewed by the few that it is a punishment. I differ. In some countries say in Malaysia the retirement age is 55. In western countries is more than 60. Why. the shortage of population is the criteria. In India after someyears the age of retirement may go up to more than
present age of 60, because of pausity of qualified people. The indian will go to outside of countries because of attraction and for prestige. The older people will be lethargic and continues to work for their false prestige .

Retirement word most of us having dreadful notion. Oh you are retired this will be first word we will get from opposite mouth. Now what will do any alternative job?
Why alternative job ? What will you do . Invent new one and work leasurely and enjoyfully without any tension. By the time of retirement you commitment to family mighthave been compleated. If by anychance if it was there you can further persue the alternative carreer. Your
