The Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) is a government organization which operates several power stations in the Damodar River area of West Bengal and Jharkhand. The corporation operates both thermal power stations and hydel power stations. DVC is headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal.

Serious floods occurred. As a result, the Government of Bengal appointed a board of Enquiry titled "Damodar Flood Enquiry Committee for suggesting remedial measures.

The Damodar Flood Enquiry Committee suggested the construction of dams and storage reservoirs at the sites and highlighted the possibilities of multipurpose development in the valley area. By April 1947, full agreement was practically reached between the three Governments of Central, West Bengal and Bihar on the implementation of the scheme and in March 1948, the Damodar Valley Corporation Act was passed by the Central Legislature, requiring the three Governments, The Central Government and the State Governments of West Bengal and Bihar (now Jharkhand) to participate jointly for the purpose of building the Damodar Valley Corporation. The Corporation came into existence on 7 July 1948 as the first multipurpose river valley project of independent India.

Damodar Valley Corporation recruitment offers great career opportunities for several posts such as Assistant Engineer (IT).
