Deputy CM hails UDAY scheme for power reforms 11/6/2015 11:57:04 PM Early Times Report JAMMU Nov 6:Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh today hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approval to a new scheme 'Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojna' aimed at power reforms in India. "We hail the decision of the Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister on Thursday, which gave its approval to a new scheme - UDAY - moved by the Ministry of Power," he said. UDAY provides for the financial turnaround and revival of Power Distribution companies (Discoms) and importantly also ensures a sustainable permanent solution to the problem, Dr Singh said. While addressing party workers in Srinagar today, he said that UDAY is a path breaking reform for realising the Prime Ministers vision of affordable and accessible 24x7 power for all. "It is another decisive step furthering the landmark strides made in the power sector over the past one and a half years by the Central government", he said. The power sector is witnessing a series of historic improvements across the entire value chain, from fuel supply to generation, transmission and consumption (over 2.3 crore LED bulbs distributed) under the leadership of Power Minister Piyush Goyal, he said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
