1970: the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) proposes a hydroelectric dam across the Kunthipuzha River that runs through Silent Valley. Silent Valley Hydroelectric Project (SVPH): It will generate electricity for the state of Kerala with the installation of four units of 60 MW each. (The KSEB avers that the state’s electricity requirements will not be met without this additional power). Irrigate an additional 100 sq km in the Mallapuram and Palghat districts. Provide employment to several thousand people during the construction phase and boost the economy of the state.
