As part of the Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, 16,000 Indian villages with a significantly large number of low income households would be able to buy lED bulbs for a special price of Rs 50 under the Unnat Jyoti by Affordable lEDs for All (UJAlA) programme.
Southco COO and GM flagged off the UJAlA vans in Brahmapur and also in Cuttack and Puri recently.
The vans would travel across 388 villages in the State spreading awareness about energy efficiency, energy conservation and distributing the lED bulbs.
The Energy Efficiency Services limited (EESl) has distributed over 29 crore superior quality lED bulbs to domestic consumers, enabling them to achieve energy saving of up to 90 percent, in comparison to incandescent bulbs.
