With so much to offer, Korba is a must visit on your Chhattisgarh Tour.

The major tourist attractions of Korba include Pali - a small village at 58 km from Korba City, famous for a big and beautiful lake and remains of ancient temples including the ancient Shiva Temple. Kanki - at a distance of about 20 km is famous for Shiva Temple, which is popularly known as Kankeshwar Mahadev Temple. Lafagarh - at a distance of about 19 km has one of the strongest natural forts of India with three entrances, having beautifully decorated pillars and statues. Sitamani Temples & Caves are other major attraction near Korba having three rock-cut caves with one housing ancient idols of Rama, Sita and Laxman. The 55 ft high Kendai Waterfall at Tiger Point (named so as tigers and other wild animals can easily be seen here) and Bango Dam - a famous picnic spot are a must visit on your Korba Tour.

Power plants across the coal-rich northern region: at Korba West (500 MW), Korba South (1,000 MW)

Sep 9 Chhattisgarh is set to become one of India's rare states with electricity connection to all its villages by 2009, the state electricity board said Tuesday.

'Presently, 18,994 villages, or 96.2 percent of the total 19,744 villages in the state have electricity facility, and we will achieve cent percent electrification latest by the end of 2009,' the state's electricity board chairman Rajib Ranjan told IANS.

He said the board was working on a strategy to electrify remote villages in the forests and hilly regions with solar power or wind generated energy as coal-fired plants are either technically or financially not viable.

Ranjan said about 18 percent of the country's coal deposits was in Chhattisgarh, and that the state would become the country's power hub by 2012 as it has separate deals with 50 power companies for setting up coal-fired thermal plants to generate 42,297 MW of power on an investment of Rs.1,900 billion.

'These proposed plants will begin generation during the 11th plan period,' he said.

The state had an average daily power demand of just 900 MW when it was carved out from Madhya Pradesh in November 2000 and 1,200 MW during peak hours.

The current average power requirement is about 1,850 MW, which rises to 2,500 MW during peak hours.

Presently, the state produces 1,923.85 MW of electricity, of which 1,786 MW is thermal power, the remaining generated by hydel projects.

Apart from the private sector, the board itself is setting up a series of power plants across the coal-rich northern region: at Korba West (500 MW), Korba South (1,000 MW), Bhaiyathan (1,320 MW), Premnagar (1,320 MW) and Marwa (1,320 MW).

Ranjan said these units would start generating power in the ongoing plan period.
