What is UJV?
Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited, popularly referred to as UJVN or UJV, is a state-owned hydroelectric power generation company headquartered in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Established in 2001, shortly after the creation of Uttarakhand as a separate state, the organization was set up by the state government to develop, operate, and maintain hydroelectric power projects by harnessing the abundant water resources flowing through rivers such as the Ganga, Yamuna, Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, and Tons. UJV plays a vital role in India's renewable energy ecosystem, particularly across the Himalayan region, where hydropower continues to be a major source of clean and sustainable electricity. The company manages several small, medium, and large hydro projects, feeding power into both the state and central grids. UJVN frequently partners with central public sector undertakings like NHPC and SJVN to execute large-scale hydroelectric ventures. For candidates preparing for Uttarakhand state public service examinations such as UKPSC, assistant engineer papers, or competitive tests related to the power and energy sector, questions on UJV and its projects appear regularly in the general awareness and technical sections.
