The Kansabati project was started in 1956 as part of the Indian Second Five-year Plan to provide water to 3,484.77 Square Kilometres of land in the districts of Midnapur, Bankura and Hooghly. It involves irrigation land using water from the Kansabati river, as well as the Shilabati and the Bhoirobbanki rivers. As part of the project, a 38 Metres high and 10,098 Metres long dam, Mukutmanipur Dam was constructed at Mukutmanipur on the river Kangsabati and Kumari about 3.2 KM upstream of their Confluence. It is an earthen gravity dam with concrete saddle spillway at the border of Purulia and Bankura district. An anicut dam built on the Kangsabati River near Midnapore in 1872 was also added to the operations of the project.
