Dimapur, March 21 (EMN): Peren district administration, in collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Service Limited (EESL), a public sector undertaking of
Government of India, launched the ‘Energy Efficient Peren’ under UJALA scheme at Jalukie B village on March 17.
Deputy Commissioner, Peren, Zarenthung Ezung, speaking as the chief guest on the occasion, stressed that power problem plaguing the district due to constant breakdown of transformer can be avoided with the use of energy efficient LED bulbs and tubes. He said use of LED bulbs and tubes will drastically reduce the electricity bill of the consumers.
He highlighted that with the expansion of Jalukie town, there is a rapid rise in the populace with maximum energy consumption in these areas. As such, he said the use of LED bulbs and tubes has become inevitable. He said the scheme was launched for the first time to effectively reduce power consumption as the village, due to its close proximity with the town, faces high energy consumption.
‘Energy efficient Peren’ was undertaken with the vision that all villages under Peren district would receive 100% power coverage under the UJALA scheme.
The DC expressed hope the scheme would have a positive impact on climate change which is the need of the hour and also solicited full co-operation of the village functionaries for effective implementation of the scheme. The DC further asserted that two to three far flung villages under Peren district would be adopted under this scheme. The selected villages will be given LED bulbs free of cost.
The programme was chaired by SDO (C) Peren, D Robin, while the vote of thanks was pronounced by SDO (C) Jalukie, Roshietho Ngouri, and short speech was delivered by Namki, Chairman Jalukie B village. The programme was attended by the village council members, Jalukie Valley Youth Organisation, students’ bodies and the public of the area.
