December16, 2017 (C) Ravinder Singhprogressindia2015@gmail.com
It is shocking as the demand even at winter peak toady isMaximum 3757 MW, andMinimum 1480 MW – there are Frequent Tripping and many Grids Sub Stations have frequent interruptions when Connected Load could be30,000 MW to 40,000 MW.
DERC doesn’t release Monthly Report of Grid Operations.
Governments routinely neglects Rural Feeders and 30% farmersPumpset Motors are Burnt Every year but in Delhi and South Delhi in Particular – it is not damaging electric gadgets worth upto Rs.50 Lakh in case of Residential Buildings [Lift, and a Single LCD TV or a Refrigerator Cost up to Rs.5 lakh as most Expensive Gadgets there are many TVs, per floor plus computers, Air-conditioners, CCTV, Geysers, Booster Pumps, scores of Lights & Fans etc all of them are imported even Pumps & Geysers] – much more for Office Buildings – people have to install –
Gadgets worth say Rs.20 Lakh crores are not assured quality power supply.
Ø Diesel Generators,
Ø UPS & Invertors,
Ø Voltage Stabilizers
Since Major Troubles are EXPERIENCED after Energy Minister RK Singh, former Home Secretary, took over charge from Piyush Goyal – I think he is not Supported in the Ministry and Politically in Party.
Table attached points to Acute Under loading of Grids and Transformers in so many cases yet there are Tripping.
Load is not Balanced and Transformers are not operated in parallel at most Grid Stations though of same specifications.
There are Gross Incompetence in Complaint Handling of Consumers – to repair Fault of One Consumer sometimes entire 11 KV feeder is subjected to frequent power cuts.

An influential meeting held with Education Minister Prakash Javadekar for the Inclusion of Sikh History in NCERT books!
   Statutory body Established under the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Act, 1971, The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, took a serious step regarding the Sikh history by keeping an influential meeting with the incumbent Union Minister of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India Prakash Javadekar for the inclusion of Sikh History in NCERT books, so that the young Indian generation could know about their heritage. Present at the meeting was Preeti Sapru, Sanjay Sapru, Shri Manjit Singh along with eminent personalities of Sikh community.
   The main motto of the meeting was the Sikh History, mentioned in the discussion about the Sikh Gurus who worked tirelessly for the upliftment of the Indian Society in general and the downtrodden Indian in particular. However, regretfully the history of the Sikhs does not figure anywhere in the school syllabus. And the topic of the negligence and injustice did by the governments considering the glorious past of the Sikhs was also stated in the meet. Minister Shri Prakash Ji gave a patient and serious hearing to the committee.
   Whereas, the deep topics about the Sikh history which was requested to include in one or two chapters in the NCERT books are, Guru Nanak, Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Teg Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh, Two Younger Sons of Guru Gobind Singh, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, the History of Eighteenth Century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and Indian freedom movement and the Sikhs.

This fast emergence has thrown open huge opportunities and challenges for the sector.
