Chhattisgarh State is fortunate that it has surpluse elctricity and has immense possibilities of coal based thermal power generation.At the national level one finds several States suffering from serious power crises.Looking to abundant availability of coal in th state ,Chhattisgarh would be developed as a 'Power Hub'of th nation from where power would be exported to other needy States.Due to historical reasons Chhattisgarh is backward in agricultur andindustrial sector.One of the main reasons for this backwardness has been non-availability of cheap and reliabl power in the State .State Government aims to ensur availability of reliabl and cheap electricity to every section of society both in rural as well as urban areas,including the farmers,so that more and more electricity could be consumed within the State .State Government shall also provid quality power at reasonabl rates to industries as per their requirement so that industries could flourish and pace of industrialization is accelerated.
