Jobs Generated by the Rampur Hydropower Project in India

This case study seeks to shed light on the employment impacts associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of a 412 megawatt Rampur run-of-river hydroelectricity scheme as part of the Rampur Hydropower Project. It also considers the job creation associated with complementary efforts to resettle and rehabilitate project-affected persons and communities, and foster community development.

A team from Mathematica, consisting of Faraz Usmani, Duncan Chaplin, Patricia Costa, Sarah Leser, and Sara Bryk, collected background material and conducted upstream research for this case study. The Mathematica team gratefully acknowledges the instrumental contributions and insights provided by Shouvik Chakraborty that were essential to the successful completion of this case study.
