“The state government is also working towards that goal. To provide quality electricity service, electricity infrastructure needs to be improved. This requires a lot of money. The state government is working to develop electricity infrastructure without charging extra money from consumers. For this, various projects are being implemented by sourcing money from organizations like ADB, NEC, World Bank etc”, said Dev Varma.

He said that many projects were started during the previous government. But the necessary funds were not available. 

“The present government wants that there should be no such things like remote areas in the state for which development work is going on all over the state using technology”, he said.
