THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

- (a) : Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture of CPSEs under the  Ministry  of  Power  is  the  implementing  agency  for  distribution  of  LED  bulbs under UJALA scheme. The state wise details of LED bulbs distribution under the UJALA scheme are at Annexure-I.
- (b) : A total of approximately 97.84 lakh LED bulbs have been distributed in the Chikkaballapur Parliamentary Constituency to date.
- (c) : Government  of  India  launched  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Sahaj  Bijli  Har  Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA) to electrify all willing households in rural areas and poor households  in  urban  areas  across  the  country.  During  this  scheme,  1,82,856 households were electrified in Karnataka. The state has reported that all eligible households identified as on 10.10.2017 were electrified by 31.01.2019. (Districtwise details are provided in Annexure-II.)

Government of India is supporting states in electrifying identified households of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) and tribal households under the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA). As on now, based on requests from the State of Karnataka, projects worth ₹3.77 crore have been sanctioned for the electrification of 1,615  PVTG households under PM-JANMAN (details provided in Annexure-III). Additionally,  under  the  New  Solar  Power  Scheme,  off-grid  solar-based electrification works have been approved for 179 PVTG households in Karnataka, including 108 in Kodagu and 71 in Mysuru districts. (d) :   The  Government of India has been supporting State Governments through various schemes such as Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), SAUBHAGYA, and the Revamped Distribution  Sector  Scheme  (RDSS)  to  ensure  reliable  power  supply  for  all consumers, including farmers. Under  DDUGJY,  projects  for  separating  mixed-load  feeders  with  high agricultural load were undertaken to enable judicious rostering of power supply for  agricultural  and  non-agricultural  consumers  in  rural  areas.  In  Karnataka, feeder segregation projects worth ₹865 crore have been implemented, covering 11,783 ckm of 11kV lines. (e) : According  to  data  compiled  and  published  by  the  Central  Electricity Authority, state-wise details of agricultural power tariffs across the country for the financial year 2022-23 are provided in Annexure-IV.
