Light is something which we can’t live without. “Lights on” leads to development, happiness, entertainment and many more. On the Contrary part, “Lights off” leads to in dark. Without light there is no life. So it is necessary to have electricity to all. In India there are still 280 million peoples not having accessible to electricity. You can imagine that in the world where we are talking about new innovation, technologies, smart phones, etc. and there are some people who don’t have electricity in their home.
Therefore to provide light to last home is necessary. Rural areas in India don’t have regular access to electricity, which lead to decrease in productivity. The Government of India is also initiating many schemes to provide electricity to all. Initiatives such as Deendayal Upadaya Jyoti Gram Yojana and may more. One of the major innovations in power sector is Distributed renewable generation. There are many places which are very far from cities. So, connecting this place through transmission links is not a viable option. So to electrify all the villages in India there is a need of distributed generation.
Thus generating through renewable sources such as wind, solar, hydro, etc. can be a good option for such areas. The Government is also implementing the plan of feeder separation. In feeder separation, there will be a segregation of agriculture and domestic feeder. There are states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh already started implementing the feeder separation scheme way before. This scheme will ensure 24*7 of uninterrupted power to domestic homes while there will be a sufficient power to agriculture areas. The main problem in lighting rural areas is that investors are not sure about the return. Due to this, the funds are not flowing for electrifying rural areas. There should be some innovative finance techniques so that private investors will be interested to go for it. There are companies like DESI power which are working on electrifying rural areas. One good example of electrification is there is a village in India where there was no electricity, so peoples from village participated in generating electricity through hydro then the village got electrified.
In my point of view electricity is basic thing which living being needs. There is also a lot of migration from rural areas to urban due to the non-availability of the basic infrastructure. There is a need of proper planning and implementation so that there will be a situation where everyone will get power.
