Surya Mitra
Manohar Jyoti
Ujjwal Discom Assurance scheme
Gaushala Solar Plant Scheme
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. Ujjwal Discom Assurance scheme
The Ujjwal Discom Assurance scheme (UDAY) is a scheme launched by the Government of India in 2015 to improve the financial health of state-owned electricity distribution companies (discoms). The scheme provides financial assistance to discoms to reduce their debt burden, improve their operational efficiency, and provide quality power to consumers.
The Haryana government issued UDAY bonds in 2016 under the UDAY scheme. The bonds were used to finance the state government’s share of the financial assistance provided to discoms under the scheme.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Surya Mitra is a scheme launched by the Haryana government in 2017 to promote the use of solar energy in the state.
- Manohar Jyoti is a scheme launched by the Haryana government in 2015 to provide free electricity to households below the poverty line.
- Gaushala Solar Plant Scheme is a scheme launched by the Haryana government in 2017 to promote the use of solar energy in cattle sheds.
