Newsclipping: Electrifying India: Taking electricity to
every village is a milestone, but also a first step. (ToI,
1.5.2018) - uninterrupted electricity supply at
affordable tariffs by state governments.
Last Saturday Leisang, a village in Manipur, was
electrified. This is a milestone in India's electrification
programme, as all inhabited villages have been lit up.
Electricity, Roads, Education and healthcare; the four
basic building blocks of a prosperous society. Impressive
as India's electrification achievement is, it's best to
regard it as a first step. The goal should be to provide
electric power to every household and ensure reliable
supply. About 41 million households, or 16% of the total,
have to be electrified for India to meet its March 2019
target of universal electrification. The Modi government
announced last year additional financial help through a
special programme – Saubhagya – to bring all
households within the ambit of electrification. The
challenge now will be uninterrupted electricity supply at
affordable tariffs. This needs state governments to get a
better grip on their overall finances. Currently, states use
industrial consumers to cross-subsidise poorer
households and farmers. Often cross-subsidies are so
high that consumers seek to shift to captive power plants
even as Indian industry is rendered less competitive. The
state, Himachal pradesh not only has the lowest
transmission and commercial losses, it also offsets its
power cost through adequate tariffs. Governance has
made a difference in Himachal. Its example shows that
India can progress from universal electrification to high
