    Ashutosh Bhakta
    This document discusses India's goal of "Power for All" by 2012 and progress towards that goal. It notes that while India has become a large consumer of power, achieving universal electrification remains a work in progress. The document outlines causes of increasing power demand like industrialization, population growth, and rural electrification efforts. It also discusses challenges like outdated coal resources, lack of gas development, and shortage of skilled workers. Uttar Pradesh is used as a case study, showing a deficit between rising demand and current supply. Renewable sources like hydro, wind and solar are presented as ways to achieve electrification targets and overcome issues with conventional power. In conclusion, the document states India has partially achieved its goal but more progress is

    India with 797.35 kWh of Power consumption
    as of 2014 data, with 8 states achieving 100%
    in household electrification, is a great
    consumer of Power.

    INTRODUCTION
    •Power – critical infrastructure for economic growth.
    •Government of India has promised “Power to All” by 2012.
    • They are using different strategies to achieve this mission,
    that is power generation, transmission, distribution, regulation,
    conservation and communication
    Causes of Increase in demand
    Industrial sector
    growing faster
    Quality of Increasing

    Causes of Increase in demand

    India’s electricity sector
    consumes about 80% of

    the coal produced in
    country A large part of Indian coal
    reserve is of low calorific

    Why Shortage
    value & high ash content
    Lack of initiative to
    develop large coal &
    natural gas resources
    present in India.

    The power situation in the State is that deficit,
    i.e., demand exceeds the supply and
    generation power.

    Demand
    To meet up the gap,
    6500MW
    Government launched "Power
    for All" , under which 100000
    Supply L;LM
    MW of new installed
    4000MW generating capacity is to be
    added by 2012, under
    Electricity Act 2003.

    Current Scenario
    Power Did India achieved "Power for All"?
    Power Surplus Partially Yes
    by 4 lakh MW
    Conclusion
    Overall, we can see India had achieved the target of "Power for all" but partially.
    Yes, about 8 states in India have been electrified 100% on papers, but ground
    reality is something else. If we ignore these numbers and states we can say there's
    a long way to go.

    We can see that India is a Power surplus country in terms of generation but the
    main problems lies in the transmission of power to the respective places on time.
    Thank you
