DVC came into existence with the avowed mission to tame the turbulent Damodar and control damages caused by recurring and devastating floods in the valley. Following the model of the Tennessee Valley Corporation, DVC incorporated other activities to broaden the scope of its primary mission. Hence the mission was defined by the following objectives:

Flood control and irrigation. Generation, transmission and distribution of power. Eco-Conservation and afforestation. Socio-economic welfare of the inhabitants of the Damodar valley. Water supply for industrial and domestic use.

DVC is finely tuned to changes with time, and has, from time to time, revised its priorities. Hence, the shift of emphasis in recent times to generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy to meet the increasing demand for power from core sector industries like steel, coal and railways as well as other industrial consumers. The need to view development In a holistic manner has reinforced DVC’s firm commitment to social responsibility, which remains an integral part of its overall mission. Vision To establish DVC as a mega pithead power producer and distributor in the Eastern Region and become a facilitator for all around growth of the region enriching the quality of lives of people.
