The construction of large dams is one of the most costly and controversial forms of public infrastructure investment in
developing countries, but little is known about their impact. This paper studies the performance evaluation of dams in
India. There are so many performance indicators are based on a vehicle to facilitate understanding of the causes of good
or poor performance. Performance indicators are measures of inputs, outputs, outcomes and impact of government
activities. Performance indicator are comprises of rapid appraisal, rapid evaluation and impact evaluation. To account
for endogenous placement of dam previous data is used along with the new methodology for dam’s suitability to provide
instrumental variable estimates of their impact. We find that, in a district where a dam is built, along with the benefits the
OMS (i.e. Operation, Maintenance and Safety) of different types of dams are also equally responsible for the stability
and sustainability of dam. For this a new methodology is developed to evaluate the performance of dam. Based upon the
data collected there are some performance parameters (i.e. reliability index, sedimentation rate, non-spillway efficiency,
conveyance efficiency, water quality, expenditure towards operation & maintenance and irrigation intensity) are decided
and based on these parameters result the dam performance is decided whether good or bad.
