Raipur: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, the state is taking major steps to strengthen and modernize its electricity distribution system. A large-scale plan has been launched to resolve long-standing issues such as low voltage and frequent power disruptions in rural regions, including the Jashpur district.
Power Infrastructure Upgrade Across 133 Villages in Jashpur
As part of the initiative, additional transformers will be installed in 133 villages, towns, and hamlets of Jashpur district. This targeted intervention is expected to provide long-term relief from low voltage problems and improve overall electricity reliability.
The move will directly benefit:
- Farmers dependent on irrigation and agricultural equipment
- Students requiring uninterrupted electricity for studies
- Small traders and local businesses
Officials believe this upgrade will significantly improve daily life and economic activity in rural areas.
Major Substation Projects to Strengthen Grid Capacity
The state government is also accelerating work on high-capacity power infrastructure in Jashpur. Key projects include:
400/220 KV Substation at Harradand, Kunkuri
A modern high-capacity substation is being developed, which will become one of the major power hubs in the region.
New 33/11 KV Substations
Substations are being established at several locations including:
- Salihatoli
- Vipatpur
- Bhagora
- Samdama
- Maini
- Rede
- Palidih
- Khutera
- Chetwa
132/33 KV High-Capacity Substations
Additional substations have been approved at:
- Farsabahar
- Jhikki Bagicha
These developments aim to significantly enhance the stability and efficiency of electricity distribution across the region.
Improved Power Supply for Agriculture and Industry
The upgraded infrastructure is expected to reduce issues such as:
- Low voltage fluctuations
- Power tripping and outages
- Transmission bottlenecks
This will particularly support agricultural productivity and encourage small-scale industrial growth in rural Chhattisgarh.
Rural Development Through Reliable Electricity
The government’s initiative is seen as a key step toward improving rural living standards. Better electricity supply is expected to enhance education, healthcare services, and livelihood opportunities in remote areas.
Local residents have welcomed the move, expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai for addressing a long-standing demand for stable power supply.
The ongoing power infrastructure expansion under the Chhattisgarh government reflects a focused effort to modernize the state’s electricity network. With new transformers and substations, regions like Jashpur are expected to witness significant improvements in power reliability and overall development.
About the Initiative
This electricity infrastructure upgrade is part of the broader development vision of Vishnu Deo Sai, aimed at ensuring reliable power supply, reducing rural-urban disparities, and promoting balanced regional development across Chhattisgarh.
