Explanation
Shivanasamudra, located in the Mandya district of Karnataka on the banks of the river Kaveri, is renowned for its hydroelectric project. Established in 1902, it was one of the first major Hydel Power stations in Asia, initially built to supply electricity to the Kolar Gold Fields.
Kalpakkam, situated on the Coromandel Coast in Tamil Nadu, is a premier hub for Nuclear Energy in India. It houses the Madras Atomic Power Station (MAPS), which is India's first fully indigenously constructed nuclear power plant, and the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR). Thus, the locations correspond to Hydel Power and Nuclear Energy respectively.
