The Union Ministry of Power has launched URJA MITRA app for empowering citizens by real time information sharing o the power supply. The app provides a central platform, web-portal (www.urjamitra.com) as well as mobile app for state power Distribution utilities to distribute power outage information to rural/ urban power consumers through SMS/ push/email notifications across the country.
- The Ministry also inaugurated Rural Feeder Monitoring Scheme to monitor the quantity and quality parameters of power supply in rural areas of the country.
- The entire data under the scheme will be hosted on National Power Portal (NPP) on a real-time basis and may be accessed by various stakeholders through web services.
The Union Government has set December 2017 as the deadline to achieve 100% rural feeder monitoring by installing additional meters and modems on all feeders across the country. The purpose of this move is to facilitate real-time communication of faults appearing in the power supply. These meters will be geo-tagged to pinpoint the location and cause of the fault and address it at the earliest.
