Hyperlinking Policy

Links to External Websites

At many places in this website, you shall find links to other websites/portals. These links have been placed for your convenience. The Department of Hydropower Development is not responsible for the contents and reliability of the linked websites and does not necessarily endorse the views expressed in them.

Mere presence of the link or its listing on this website should not be assumed as endorsement of any kind. We cannot guarantee that these links will work all the time and we have no control over the availability of the linked pages. The Department will not be liable for any damages or loss arising from the use of or reliance on information contained in external websites.

Linking to Our Website

Prior permission is required before hyperlinks are directed from any website/portal to this website. Permission for the same, stating the nature of the content on the pages from where the link has to be given and the exact language of the Hyperlink should be obtained by sending a request through the Contact Us section of this website.

The Department reserves the right to deny permission for linking without assigning any reason. Any unauthorized linking may be subject to legal action. Once permission is granted, the linking website must ensure that the link remains accurate and up-to-date.
