==The project==
The '''Rajghat Dam''' is an inter-state [[dam]] project of the governments of [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Uttar Pradesh]] under construction on the [[Betwa River]] about 14 km from [[Chanderi]] in Madhya Pradesh and 22 km from [[Lalitpur, India|Lalitpur]] in Uttar Pradesh.
The project envisages construction of a 43.80 m high and 562.50 m long masonry dam across the River Betwa flanked by an earthen dam with a maximum height of 29.5 m and a total length of 10.79 km. In 1990 this dam was given the name ''Rani Laxmibai Sinchai Pariyojna''.


The project will provide [[irrigation]] for 1,380 square kilometres of land in Uttar Pradesh and 1,210 square kilometres in Madhya Pradesh.  The installed capacity of the [[power station|power house]] will be 45 MW (3 x 15 MW). The costs and benefits of the project are to be shared by the two states equally.


Other projects downstream of the Rajghat Dam are the [[Matatila Dam]] Project, the [[Dhukwan Dam]] and the [[Parichha Dam]]. The Rajghat Dam project will serve as the main storage for irrigation in [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Madhya Pradesh]] through a cascade of hydraulic structures downstream on the River Betwa.
