Closure Announcement for Smart Metering Quiz
Ministry of Power, Government of India launched a reforms-based and results-linked Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The scheme aims to improve the operational efficiencies and financially reform ailing public sector DISCOMs/Power Departments by providing conditional assistance to them for strengthening of supply infrastructure. The assistance will be based on meeting pre-defined parameters as well as achievement of basic minimum benchmarks set by the DISCOMs and the Centre. The Scheme would be available till the year 2025-26. REC and PFC have been nominated as nodal agencies for facilitating implementation of the Scheme.
Given the massive losses suffered by DISCOMs as a result of power theft, AT&C losses, meter tampering, inaccurate billing, etc. RDSS offers a lifeline to help turn around the fortunes of the distribution sector in a bid to establish a robust, reliable and resilient power sector.
Smart Metering Quiz was hosted on MyGov for generating awareness and sensitizing the public at large about smart metering and RDSS scheme as a whole. And to inform people about the various benefits they will derive from the scheme.
The quiz was hosted from 5th April 2022 to 4th June 2022 and received the participation of 30,244 users.
Ministry of Power and MyGov appreciate the efforts of all the participants and thank them for their overwhelming interest, enthusiasm and keenness in participating in this quiz
