🔌⚡ Major Relief for Bihar Households!
The Bihar State Government under CM Nitish Kumar has announced a game-changing policy: FREE electricity up to 125 units per month for all domestic consumers!
Key Details:
✅ Effective from August 1, 2024
✅ Zero charges for consumption up to 125 units monthly
✅ Applies to July month's electricity consumption onwards
✅ Benefits millions of households across Bihar
This bold initiative demonstrates how state governments can provide direct financial relief to citizens while promoting responsible energy consumption.
For context, 125 units typically covers the basic electricity needs of an average Indian household - including lighting, fans, TV, refrigerator, and other essential appliances.
Impact: This could save families ₹800-1200 per month on average, providing significant relief especially to middle-class and lower-income households.
Such progressive policies show the potential for sustainable governance that prioritizes citizen welfare.
What are your thoughts on state-level electricity subsidies? Do you think this model could be replicated in other states?
