Bihar, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Per capita consumption of power is the amount of electricity consumed per person in a given year. It is a good indicator of the economic development of a country or state.<\/p>\n<p>According to the 2018-19 data from the Central Electricity Authority, the per capita consumption of power in Jharkhand was 611 kWh. This is lower than the per capita consumption of power in Bihar (646 kWh), Assam (704 kWh), Uttar Pradesh (728 kWh), and Punjab (842 kWh).<\/p>\n<p>The low per capita consumption of power in Jharkhand is due to a number of factors, including the state&#8217;s low level of economic development, its large rural population, and its reliance on agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>The state government has taken a number of steps to increase the per capita consumption of power in Jharkhand, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Expanding the electricity grid to rural areas<\/li>\n<li>Providing subsidies to farmers for using electricity for irrigation<\/li>\n<li>Promoting the use of energy-efficient appliances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These measures have had some success, but the per capita consumption of power in Jharkhand is still lower than the national average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Bihar, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab&#8221;
