Kulsi River Project

The Assam and Meghalaya governments have decided to jointly set up a 55MW hydro power project on the Kulsi, a small river known as a nesting ground for the endangered river dolphins.

• While both the states will get benefts from the power to be generated on the Kulsi river, Assam will get additional benefits of irrigation.
• Kulsi is a small tributary of the Brahmaputra that flows down from Meghalaya’s West Khasi Hills district to Kamrup district of Assam.
• About 60km long river with average width of 70 to 80 meters flows in Assam before it meets the Brahmaputra.
