On 07 June, 2023, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot laid the foundation stone for the Kaliteer lift scheme and inaugurated the Silavat Anicut project in Dholpur district. These initiatives will raise the water level in Dholpur district.
The construction of the Kaliteer lift project in Sarmathura tehsil of the Baseri assembly constituency is estimated to cost approximately Rs 643 crore. The project work is expected to be carried out in a time-bound manner.
With this, Parvati and Ramsagar dams respectively will be filled to capacity every year by raising around 180 mtrs. of excess water in the Chambal river during the rainy season. Furthermore, this will ensure water availability in the rivers Bamni, Parvati, and Utangan, and the drinking water will be supplied in three urban and 433 rural areas in the Dholpur district.
