'''Bansagar''' or '''Ban Sagar Dam''' is a multipurpose river Valley Project on [[Sone River]] situated in the Ganges Basin in [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[India]] with both [[irrigation]] and '''''435 MW''''' of [[hydroelectric]] power generation.<ref>Water Resources of Madhya Pradesh: Major Projects, Water Resources Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, January 2006</ref>

The Bansagar Dam across the Sone River was constructed near the [[Deolond]] village in the [[Shahdol district]]. It is surrounded by Satna, Katni, and Rewa districts. The project was called "Bansagar" after [[Banabhatta|Bana Bhatt]], the renowned [[Sanskrit]] scholar of the 7th century, who is believed to have hailed from this region in India. Bansagar Dam is located at [[Latitude]] 24-11-30 N and [[Longitude]] 81-17-15 E.

The project was initially called the "Dimba Project" in 1956 by the Central Water Commission, New Delhi to be constructed on the [[Sone River]] at the confluence of the Sone and [[Banas River]]s near Shikarganj town 30 km down river from the present site. Later it was shifted to the present site at [[Deolond]]. There was an agreement in 1973 between the State Governments of [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Bihar]] for the construction of the dam, in which the states shared the expenditure in the ratio of 2:1:1. The 4 million-acre-feet of water is also shared by the states in the same ratio. The construction work was started in 1978 at original approved cost of Rs. 91.31 crores. The final estimated cost in 1998 was Rs. 1054.96 crores.<ref>Water Resources of Madhya Pradesh: Major Projects, Water Resources Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, January 2006</ref>
