Please kindly review the attached pdf document for suggestions regarding the National Electricity Policy 2021. The draft of National Electricity Policy (NEP) 2021 provided in the description above has 53 pages in English and I could not go through all pages within the deadline of May 15 2021. Therefore, I don’t know if I’m listing any redundant suggestions already present in the draft.

राष्ट्रीय विद्युत नीति'2021 में इस बात का निश्चित प्रावधान किया जाना चाहिए कि ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में सभी जगह विद्युत आपुर्ति की व्यवस्था अगले पाँच वर्षों में पूरा हो जाये और विशेष कर दलित वस्तियों और जनजातीय क्षेत्रों और कमजोर वर्ग के लोगों के घरों में विद्युतीकरण की प्राथमिकता सुनिश्चित किया जाना चाहिए |
