Now a large part of this district will get uninterrupted and quality electricity and there will be no problem of low voltage.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that with the commissioning of Grid Sub Station and Transmission Line, the long awaited demand of the people here has been fulfilled and now every house here will not only be illuminated but Chatra district will progress rapidly on the path of development with new energy.
He said that electricity is very important for development and this is the reason why the government is laying a network of grid sub-stations and transmission lines in the entire state so that the people of the state do not have to face the lack of electricity.
The Chief Minister said that solar power plants are being promoted by the government. He asked the people to cultivate electricity like agriculture and suggested that people should use their barren land and the roof of the house to set up a solar power plant. With this, not only will they be able to generate electricity for themselves, but the government will buy the surplus electricity, this will increase their income and they will become a partner in the development of the state.
He said that the government will give subsidy for setting up solar power plants and a new scheme will be launched for this very soon.
The Chief Minister said that government belongs to the people and it is working according to the sentiments and wishes of the people. He said that action plans are being made for the welfare and development of the people of the state. He urged the people to join the schemes of the government and take advantage of them. He asked the officials and public representatives to make the people in rural areas aware of the various welfare schemes of the government so that they can become self-reliant through these schemes.
He said that the government’s eyes are especially on the backward districts like Chatra, Garhwa, Latehar therefore special plans are also being prepared for such districts.
