Rising stars in India’s power sector

The Indian power sector has been a hotbed of activity since the NDA government took over the reins two years ago.

From providing a lifeline to the ailing state-owned power distribution utilities (discoms) in the form of UDAY (Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana) to ramping up the country’s traditionally neglected transmission network to boosting domestic coal supply, providing subsidised gas to stranded fuel-starved plants and introducing e-auctions for short-term power purchases by discoms, many initiatives have been introduced.

But these measures without doubt will not be enough to shore up the fortunes of the struggling power sector without employing the best brains. Whispers In The Corridors thus took stock of the situation and found out atleast 16 ‘best brains’ working in the power sector. They are –

Stooge of Britishers
There was a regular section in India, in every walk of life who was a strong stooge of Britishers and who offered them a stay, otherwise British would have been out by 1910. British Government as is apparent from "Recollections" of Morley, favoured and helped the moderates under Gokhale to oust the so called "Extremists" and stiffle the movement of the people running violent under banner of boycott and Swadeshi. One can imagine the cause of doing such a historical wrong to the people like Arabindoo, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chander Pal, who were the greatest of the Indians and meta-physical patriots. They were the real servants of motherland and sworn enemies of alien rule and moderates as against them were craving to get reforms by keeping India, a British colony. Moderates were agents of English exploiting the people in the name of the people. In assembly and outside, they were committing India to slavery and all they desired was a better treatment for slaves. The demand of the extremists for independence and non-cooperation with British Government was equally painful to them as it was to British. This is what our history says.
