Consider the following statements with regard to a steel plant : I. It was setup in 1964 with Russian collaboration II. It receives iron ore from the Rourkela region III. Water and Hydel power is supplied by the Damodar Valley Corporation Identify the Steel Plant on the basis of the above facts :

The Bokaro Steel Plant was established in 1964 in collaboration with the Soviet Union (Russia) [3]. It is located in the Chotanagpur region and is strategically positioned to utilize regional resources. While it primarily obtains iron ore from the Keonjhar district [1], it is part of a regional industrial complex that includes the Rourkela region for raw material exchange. Crucially, the plant receives its water supply from the Tenu Dam across the Damodar River [1] and its power requirements are met through the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) [3]. In contrast, the Bhilai and Rourkela plants were established earlier, in 1959 [2]. Bhilai was also a Soviet project, but Rourkela was built with German assistance [1]. Durgapur, established with British collaboration, also utilizes DVC resources but does not match the 1964 establishment date [2].
