Question
Why do we require grid for transmission of electricity?
✓

Answer

Primary sources for electricity power are unevenly distributed and the generation plants are also unevenly located. Thus, bulky transmission of electric power over long distances becomes necessary. We require grid to synchronise power generation with transmission and distribution of electricity. Grid facilitates economising and increasing reliability. Grid avoids overloading of transmission lines, frequent breakdowns and loss of surplus power.

Government had allocated ₹ 42 crore for the upliftment of Pahadi Korwas, a tribal community. Under this project, a road was developed in the Kach Ketha village costing ₹ 17.44 lakh. However, the officials failed to notice that there was only one Korwa family in that village and they were suffering from acute water shortage. Also, these funds were grossly misappropriated as only 'Lal Mitti' was put over a Kutcha road. As Ramdas says, "Instead of spending ₹ 17.44 lakh of that road, if they had spent a few thousands on improving the damaged well on my land, wouldn't that have been better?"
  1. What according to you would have truly benefitted Ramdas Korwa-developing the road or improving the well?
  2. ₹ 17.44 lakh were spent on developing the road. Is this cost justified?
  3. What values do you find disturbing in the above case?
