Electrical power gained its foothold on the Indian subcontinent when the 19th century was at its close. There were four hydroelectric plants operating in the Indian dominion at Darjeeling (1897), Sivasamudram (1902), Karteri Falls (1904), and Mohra (1908) (Figure 1). The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, despite being isolated by lofty mountain ranges, was progressive and at the forefront of embracing emerging technologies. Electric power was still in its infancy when the state decided to send a few young scholars to England and America to be trained as electrical engineers during the early 1900s.

莫赫拉水电站：山谷之光[历史]

19世纪末，电力在印度次大陆上立足。印度领地有四个水力发电厂，分别在大吉岭（1897），西瓦萨穆德拉姆（1902），卡特里瀑布（1904）和莫拉（1908）（图1）运行。印度查Jam和克什米尔邦尽管被高耸的山脉所隔离，但却是进步的，并处于拥抱新兴技术的最前沿。当该州决定在1900年代初派几名年轻学者到英格兰和美国接受电气工程师培训时，电力仍处于起步阶段。
