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.

The surplus-labour in these countries is the human resource available in more abundance than the tangible capital resource. The problem of scarcity of tangible capital in the labour surplus countries can be resolved by accelerating the rate of human capital formation with both private and public investment in the education and health sectors of their national economies. The statistical indicator of estimating human development in each nation is Human Development Index (HDI). It is the combination of the “Life Expectancy Index”, “Education Index” and “Income Index”. Human capital is the backbone of human development and economic development in every nation.
