Perspective
2016-22: Conception
In November 2017, Detailed project report (DPR) of Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) was submitted by Government of Rajasthan to the central government, which did not move forward due to its not meeting the criteria for inclusion in the under National Projects scheme.[6]
In December 2022, the Special Committee for Interlinking of Rivers approved the proposal of considering the modified Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) link project integrated with ERCP, as a part of National Perspective Plan, and declared the phase-I of the project as a priority interlinking project. A draft pre-feasibility report of modified PKC link project and a draft MoU for preparing the detailed project report (DPR) of the link project was sent to both the States and Central Water Commission (CWC) in January, 2023. A joint meeting with the States was held in February, 2023 and framework for initiating the work of preparation of DPR of modified PKC link has been finalized during the meeting.[6]
2024: Inauguration
ERCP and its 24 projects, with a value of ₹46300 crore, were inaugurated on 17 December 2024 and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi laid a foundation stone in Jaipur.[7]
2025: Renaming of project
Chief Minister of Rajasthan Bhajan Lal Sharma announced on 22 January 2025 that Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal-Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (PKC-ERCP) Link Project has been renamed Ramjal Setu Link Project (RSLP) to commemorate the first anniversary of the grand consecration of Bhagwan Shri Ram at Ayodhya's Ram Janmabhoomi.[1]
