Delivering the address, Additional Secretary, Power, Ajay Tewari said that e-cooking is going to be an environment-friendly habit for all Indians in the times to come. “India has, in just 18 months, given Saubhagya connections to 26 million households who did not have electricity access.
The Additional Secretary said that we want to move towards e-cooking since we have 24/7 electricity in our households.
We are supplying energy for 23.5 hours in all urban areas and 23 hours and more in rural areas. It is a big achievement that the age of power cuts is behind us.” He added that 700 million people in the world however still do not have access to electricity and that universal energy access is one of the priorities of G20.
