In a landmark event at New Maharashtra Sadan, Union Minister for Power and Urban Affairs, Sh. Manohar Lal, unveiled the book 'Wired for Success' authored by Haryana Director General of Police, Sh. Shatrujeet Kapur. 

The launch saw the esteemed presence of Justice D.K. Sharma of the Delhi High Court as the Guest of Honour.The book meticulously chronicles the transformation of Haryana Power Distribution Corporations from substantial losses to robust profitability.

Challenges, Successes, and Analysis: Statement by the Union Minister of Power

Union Power Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal, shared valuable insights during the event. Reflecting on his tenure beginning in 2014 as Chief Minister, he described the dire state of Haryana's power companies, with only 105 villages receiving 24-hour electricity and outstanding bills exceeding Rs. 7,000 crore. He emphasised that not paying electricity bills had almost become a norm in rural areas. 

However, under his administration, this situation was addressed comprehensively.He recounted the pivotal reforms undertaken in the state under the UDAY scheme to rescue Haryana's power companies from financial distress. Senior state officer, Sh.Shatrujeet Kapur was appointed as the CMD of Discoms and assigned the crucial leadership role. Under Sh.Kapur's guidance, the power companies in Haryana met their targets two years ahead of schedule.

The Union Minister highlighted that political leaders typically avoid tough decisions, but he was resolute in pursuing power reforms. It was decided that villages paying their electricity bills would receive 24-hour electricity. In public meetings, appeals were made to encourage people to pay electricity bills in time, and a bill settlement scheme was launched. 

Consequently, today, more than 5,800 villages in Haryana benefit from 24-hour electricity.Union Minister Sh. Manohar Lal shared that the biggest challenge in the path of reforms was preventing electricity theft. Haryana excelled in this area, turning companies profitable without increasing tariffs—an outstanding achievement.

Under Sh. Kapur's leadership, the power corporations and their teams worked diligently, leading to DISCOMs generating profit of Rs. 412 crore in 2017-18, Rs.281 crore in 2018-19, Rs.331 crore in 2019-20, and Rs.637 crore in 2020-21. By 2021, AT&C losses had reduced to 17 percent. Due to these reforms, the agricultural subsidy in the state decreased from Rs.7,600 crore to less than Rs.6,000 crore.

The Union Minister noted that renewable energy had been integrated on a large scale, with a capacity exceeding 3,600 MW. Significant measures were also implemented for electricity conservation, and capacity was augmented ensuring that the state's electricity demand was adequately met.

The UDAY scheme, launched nationwide in 2015 and introduced in Haryana in 2016, aimed to reduce line losses and eliminate deficits within two years. Haryana excelled in this initiative, achieving its goals ahead of schedule.

Insights from the Book

Union Minister for Power and Urban Affairs, Sh. Manohar Lal praised 'Wired for Success' for its detailed account of Haryana's power sector reforms, underscoring a verse from the Bhagavad Gita to highlight the significance of dedication and duty. 

Applauding Sh. Kapur and his teams, he recommended that central enterprises and training institutions study Haryana’s successful models and incorporate best practices. He also suggested translating the book into other languages to reach a broader audience.

Haryana's Exemplary Model

Sh. Shatrujeet Kapur acknowledged the transformative leadership of Sh. Manohar Lal. He emphasised key initiatives that elevated Haryana’s power sector, including a merit-based transfer policy and a new SOP to curb electricity theft. Over 1.7 million new connections were issued, and the bill settlement scheme resolved outstanding bills worth Rs. 7,000 crore, reconnecting numerous consumers.

A Story of Extraordinary Success

Justice D.K. Sharma lauded Sh. Kapur for his unwavering efforts and leadership. Despite numerous challenges, Sh. Kapur's determination transformed Haryana’s power companies from loss-making entities into profitable ventures, setting a national benchmark. The event, attended by several dignitaries, celebrated the visionary leadership and success story that made Haryana’s power sector a model of efficiency and profitability.

डीजीपी हरियाणा की पुस्तक ‘वायर्ड फॉर सक्सेस‘ का केन्द्रीय मंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल ने किया लोकार्पण

पुस्तक में हरियाणा बिजली वितरण निगम की घाटे से लेकर मुनाफे तक की सफलता की कहानियों का किया गया है उल्लेख

चंडीगढ़/नई दिल्ली

केंद्रीय विद्युत एवं शहरी कार्य मंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल ने नई दिल्ली स्थित नए महाराष्ट्र सदन में हरियाणा के पुलिस महानिदेशक श्री शत्रुजीत कपूर द्वारा लिखित पुस्तक ‘वायर्ड फॉर सक्सेस‘ का लोकार्पण किया। इस अवसर पर दिल्ली उच्च न्यायालय के न्यायमूर्ति डी के शर्मा विशिष्ट अतिथि के तौर पर उपस्थित रहे। यह पुस्तक हरियाणा में बिजली सुधारों की दिशा में किए गए प्रयासों पर आधारित है जिसका समाज के सभी वर्गों व अन्य राज्यों के बिजली वितरण निगमों को भी बड़े पैमाने पर लाभ होगा।

केंद्रीय विद्युत मंत्री श्री मनोहर लाल ने इस अवसर पर अपने विचार रखते हुए कहा कि 2014 में केवल प्रदेश के 105 गांवों में 24 घंटे बिजली दी जाती थी, और 7000 करोड़ से अधिक के बकाया बिल थे। परन्तु हरियाणा में बिजली कंपनियों को घाटे से उबारने और मुनाफे में लाने के लिए 2016 में उदय योजना के तहत व्यापक सुधार के कदम उठाए गए। उनके कुशल नेतृत्व में हरियाणा की दोनों बिजली कंपनियों ने निर्धारित लक्ष्य से दो वर्ष पहले ही लाभ अर्जित कर लिया।  आज हरियाणा में 5800 से अधिक गांवों को 24 घंटे बिजली मिल रही है।

पुस्तक के बारे में विचार रखते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि ‘वायर्ड फॉर सक्सेस‘ पुस्तक हरियाणा बिजली वितरण कंपनियों की अभूतपूर्व कहानी पर आधारित है। उन्होंने मंच से श्रीमद्भागवत गीता का श्लोक उच्चारण करते हुए कहा ‘कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मां फलेषु कदाचन‘ अर्थात हमारा अधिकार केवल कर्म करने का है, फल की चिंता करना हमारा काम नहीं है और हमारे कर्मों ने ही हरियाणा को बिजली सुधार के क्षेत्र में अग्रणी बनाया है।

इस अवसर पर उन्होंने यूएचबीवीएन और डीएचबीवीएन के सभी मानव संसाधनों और तत्कालीन सीएमडी श्री शत्रुजीत कपूर को अपनी शुभकामनाएं दी। इस पुस्तक में दी गई बेस्ट प्रैक्टिसेज को सार्वजनिक तथा केंद्र सरकार के प्रशिक्षण केंद्रों में पढ़ाया जाए ताकि भविष्य में उन्हें इनका लाभ मिल सके। कार्यक्रम में अपने विचार रखते हुए पुलिस महानिदेशक शत्रुजीत कपूर ने कहा कि श्री मनोहर लाल के नेतृत्व में हरियाणा बिजली निगमों को न केवल सफलता की नई ऊंचाइयां मिली बल्कि लाइन लॉसेस में रिकॉर्ड कमी दर्ज की गई जिसके परिणामस्वरूप दोनों वितरण कंपनियां मुनाफे में आ गई।

इस उपलब्धि ने अन्य राज्यों के लिए भी एक उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया है। उन्होंने पुस्तक के प्रकाशक को बधाई देते हुए सुझाव दिया कि वे इस पुस्तक का अनुवाद अन्य भाषाओं में भी करवाएं ।‘म्हारा गांव-जगमग गांव‘ योजना का परिणाम यह रहा कि रूरल फीडरों पर जहां घाटा 70 से 80 प्रतिशत तक था वह घटकर 20 से 25 प्रतिशत तक आ गया। इस पुस्तक को सभी लाइब्रेरियों में लगाया जाना चाहिए जो समस्या, उसके कारण और उसके समाधान भी बताती है। इस अवसर पर प्रदेश सरकार व केन्द्र सरकार के कई वरिष्ठ अधिकारी भी उपस्थित थे।
