1. & (b)	The Ministry has received sixteen (16) proposals for construction of multipurpose, irrigations and flood control dams in the country during the last 3 years. Environmental clearance has been accorded to 12 projects. A list of these 12 projects is annexed. However, consideration of four projects necessitate further detailed information from project proponents, and the same have not been submitted by them. Hence, these projects have been delisted from the consideration list and no proposal is pending.
