REGIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Coal bearing states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, West Bengal,
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Telangana to get potential revenue
(including auction proceeds and royalties) of

` 3.35 lakh Cr.

From auction of 29 Coal blocks & allotments of 38 coal blocks to
states/PSUs over the lifetime of the mines

REJUVENATED ECONOMY
Prevented NPAs, reduced import bill, generated momentum for
‘Make in India’ and raised resources for renewables & Ganga cleaning
through coal cess.

Legislation Enabled
Coal Mines (Special Provision) Act & Mines and Minerals (Development
and Regulation) Amendment Act enacted to enable growth of coal
sector and provide for the welfare of locals particularly tribals in the
mineral bearing areas

shortages and increase prosperity. Investment of ` 9,865 Cr. for
upgrading power systems in 8 North Eastern States (Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim
and Tripura)

For the first time, National State Power Ministers’ conference was

ON ENVIRONMENT
Massive thrust on renewables to increase share of clean energy

More than 1 lakh solar pumps sanctioned in the past year

Solar pumps helped lakhs of farmers increase output, income and

also provide drinking water.

Drinking water problem will be solved for more than 7.6 lakh
families through solar pumps for drinking water

UNNAT CHULHA ABHIYAN provides improved cook stoves for clean cooking, thus saving
the lives of our mothers and sisters. 3.5 lakh cook stoves were sanctioned last year.

Compulsory crushing and washing of coal to reduce ash transport by linking plants to
their closest mines

33
 o Massive thrust for ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ program: Orders of more than ` 100,000 crores
being placed from NTPC, Coal India, Energy Efficiency Services Ltd., Powergrid
Corporation etc. to kickstart the economy

o Domestic industry being encouraged to scale up and become more cost effective
o 1000 MW of solar capacity to be setup by PSUs with solar cells made in India
o Defence establishments will buy 300 MW solar plants
o Similar initiatives across sectors

Swachh Bharat
The PSUs under the three Ministries are committed to active involvement in this effort.
As a first step, they are investing over

` 2,250 Cr. for

over 1,25,000 toilets
separately for boys and girls by 15th August, 2015 particularly in the needy states such as
Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.

After construction, the PSUs will also maintain these toilets for a period of five years thus
ensuring a complete sanitation programme.

Awareness is being created in local communities to improve over all sanitation.
