The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has given its stamp of approval for the setting up of additional electric vehicle (EV) charging points in New Delhi’s Lutyens’ area. This initiative is aimed at curbing the use of fossil fuels and promoting eco-friendly transportation options. During the council meeting, it was also decided to revive 27 executive engineer posts in the civil engineering department in order to ensure greater efficiency. Educational policies were also discussed with the council proposing the recruitment rules for the post of nursery assistant teacher.
REIL (Rajasthan Electronics and Instruments Limited), KELTRON (Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Limited), and HLL Infratech Services are the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) with which the NDMC will be collaborating for the public EV charging points. These will be set up under the national Electric Mobility Program. As a result of the revamping, the technical and commercial losses in power supply are expected to reduce from the current 15 percent to below 12 percent. Other benefits that are hoped for include improved reliability of power supply, shorter outage time, and better load demand monitoring.
RDSS (Revamped Distributional Sector Scheme) was also approved during the meeting which is expected to keep the distribution and transmission of power both financially and operationally efficient. UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) and MHA (MInistry of Home Affairs) approval will also be obtained for the notification of the nursery assistant teacher post recruitment rules in the Gazette.
The aim of all these measures is to make the civil departments of NDMC as efficient and effective as possible. The EV charging points will be especially beneficial to the environment, allowing people to contribute to a greener future. Ecological friendliness will be fostered and as a result, the pollution rates in Delhi might soon see a downward trend. The NDMC is making sure to make the civil departments efficient and adopt a sustainable lifestyle which contributes to the betterment of Delhi’s ecology.
