Unless and until our Govt doesn’t come with a very very very strong law against corruption, all these policies cannot attain its desired results. When will Govt get rid of IAS per se? This policy will be implemented by CERC and state ERC where the retired IAS officers have already occupied the seats. Janta steals electricity and nothing happens and it’s ripple effect corrupts everyone in chain. Intent is good but ways are horrible. 👎👎👎👎

Good evening everyone I will be discussing on the topic of electricity which is important part of our life. Whether it is poor people or rich people electricity is needed by all. So steps should be taken by the government that create wind energy, solar energy at a larger scale so as to generate electricity energy. Renewable sources of energy do not create any pollution and they create pollution free environment.

I have a comment only about solar panels but this should not be used for only one that is install maximum number of panels whicha a building can afford and it should be able to supply the electricity more than the needs of the building. The extra electricity can be used to light up street light or the government can take it and pay an amount to the owner of the building Which will also gives him an income

Consumers will be eligible for generation-based incentives and will receive Rs 2 per unit of electricity generated. Furthermore, people can sell the excess of electricity. For this, they'd receive a regulated cost per unit as per tariffs set by the government.
