Madhya Pradesh Power Transmission and Distribution System Improvement Project

Awareness-raising and capacity building on the safe and efficient use of electricity, and skills training in energy facilities, have several important benefits. In Madhya Pradesh, industrial and high-voltage power consumers cross-subsidize the cost of supply so that agricultural and domestic consumers pay less. To ensure this benefit and make people aware of the safety hazards on the misuse of the high voltage transmission and distribution systems, an extensive public awareness campaign was undertaken. People were also trained in the use of facilities.
