Billions in Change
======================================================
I am sure , you could not have missed
the full front page advertisements in yesterday’s news- papers re Billions in
Change
Over the next few weeks , TV viewers
will get to watch this documentary video on a number of channels ( although
already viewable on their ,
It explains how Manoj Bhargava and his
team of dedicated staff are trying to alleviate poverty in India ( - and later
on , in entire world ) , through their revolutionary / low cost devices such as
,
[
300 Watts @ Rs 14,450 / 150 Watts @ Rs 9,990
If
you buy 30 units of 300 Watt , discounted ( 10 % ) price comes to Rs 13,000 ]
[ HANS Solar
Brief Case @ Rs 9,450
Charges 300
Watt pack in 4 hours / 150 Watt pack in 2 hours ]
====================================================
What a happy coincidence !
Only a few days back , PM Shri Modi
announced the launch of SAUBHAGYA scheme to ensure that electricity
reaches to 4 CRORE rural household
That Scheme would cost the
government Rs 16,000 crores !
Now , is it possible that , government
could have purchased from Manoj Bhargava , 4 Crore HANS Power Packs ( 300 Watts
) and distributed for FREE to those poor households ?
For such a BULK PURCHASE , I am sure ,
Manoj would have dropped the price to Rs 10,000 / - for 300 Watt pack !
Since I am not an agent / dealer of
Billions In Change , I strongly recommend that EESL come out with an open
tender for these Power Packs , as it has earlier done in the following cases :
We have all heard ( repeatedly –
including in PM’s speech 2 days back to the Company Secretaries ) how
government , through its policy of BULK PURCHASE , managed to bring down the
prices of LED bulbs from Rs 360 to Rs 45 each
And succeeded in replacing 28 Crore old
fashioned / power consuming bulbs !
And how , only a few days back , EESL
managed to bring down the price of an Electric Car to Rs 11.2 lakhs (
against identical petrol model selling for Rs 14 lakhs ) by tendering for
10,000 cars ! And expect to bring it down further to Rs 7 lakhs in next 2 years
with tenders for 100,000 cars
Of course , even at Rs 10,000 each ,
buying 4 CRORE Power Packs from Manoj , would cost the exchequer , Rs 40,000
Crore !
But look at the advantages :
Not need to erect /maintain miles of
transmission lines to those huts
No need to install and monitor
Electricity ( Smart ) Meters
No need to collect monthly payments for
the power consumed
In fact , no need to PRODUCE that power
in the first place
No pollution due
to power from coal-based power plants
No need to dig or
import expensive coal / or worry about low plant-load factor
No need to worry about power thefts /
transmission losses !
No load shedding ( so common in rural
areas ) for “ non-payment of bills / low consumption “
No need to worry about PEAK / LEAN load
periods
No need to keep Subsidizing Power for
ever
And for supplying such huge numbers , Manoj
( and many Solar Panel manufacturing companies from all over the World ) might
even agree to set up 10 factories in India for local manufacture -
generating thousands of jobs !
And talking of “ Jobs Generation “ , let the government come out with
special MUDRA bank loans , only for rural youth
who want to set up roadside “ Power
Pack Charging Stations “
, using HANS Solar Brief cases , to recharge those 4 Crore Power Packs in 5
hours !
Each youth may be given a loan of Rs 1
LAKH , enabling him / her to buy 10 Solar Brief Cases ! This will
generate ONE MILLION new “ Self Employment “ !
Today ( 07 Oct ) afternoon , Shri
Narendra Modiji will “ felicitate “ :
“ Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital
Saksharta Abhiyan [ PMGDISHA ] “,
with the following objectives :
Impart digital literacy to 6 CRORE citizens in rural India
Provide access to information ,
knowledge, healthcare and livelihood generation
None of this is possible without Smart
Phones / Tablets / Desk Tops
And the Power Pack can provide
electricity to all of these through a 12 volt port !
( Do not hesitate to amend the Indian Electricity Act , which
forbids private parties / persons to produce and sell electricity to anyone ,
without getting a license )
It is not too late for Minister for
Renewable Energy , Shri R K Singh to
consider my suggestion
