[amp_mcq option1=”High transmission and distribution losses” option2=”Power theft” option3=”Inadequate infrastructure in rural areas” option4=”All of the above” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: d) All of the above.<\/p>\n
Bihar’s power distribution network faces a number of challenges, including high transmission and distribution losses, power theft, and inadequate infrastructure in rural areas.<\/p>\n
High transmission and distribution losses are a major problem in Bihar. In 2017, the state’s transmission and distribution losses were estimated to be 25%. This means that for every 100 units of electricity that are generated, only 75 units are actually delivered to consumers. This is due to a number of factors, including old and inefficient infrastructure, theft, and poor management.<\/p>\n
Power theft is also a major problem in Bihar. In 2017, it was estimated that power theft cost the state government around Rs. 10,000 crore. Power theft is often carried out by individuals or businesses who connect to the power grid without paying for electricity. It can also be carried out by corrupt officials who collude with power thieves.<\/p>\n
Inadequate infrastructure in rural areas is another major challenge facing Bihar’s power distribution network. In many rural areas, there is no access to electricity or the infrastructure that is in place is inadequate. This can make it difficult for people in these areas to access basic services such as lighting, cooking, and refrigeration.<\/p>\n
The challenges facing Bihar’s power distribution network are complex and require a multi-pronged approach to address. The state government has taken some steps to address these challenges, but more needs to be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
