In 2020, a proposal for constructing a dam with a reservoir of 100 million cubic feet water storing capacity across the River Varaganadhi at an estimated cost of Rs.791 lakhs was passed. Technical Sanction for a sum of Rs.870.1 lakhs was granted to the Chief Engineer, PWD. The dam construction works were started on 20.07.1982 but got delayed due to the delay in the acquisition of 14.55 hectares of land from the Forest Department. The works were resumed since 1985. It was found that there were no hard rocks beneath the proposed site and so the geological department was contacted to offer clearance in this regard. The works were restarted on 1997 November and completed by M/s ECCI company in 2001. Dr. M. Karunanidhi, the then Chief Minister of Tamilnadu paid a visit to the dam site and pace of work accelerated. The dam reached its maximum capacity and overflowed for the first time on 15.11.2001. The dam was opened in a simple function by Thiru. R. Paranthaman, Chief Engineer, PWD presided over by Thiru. Athul Anand, District Collector, Theni.
