Centre constitutes power reforms steering committee

The committee would approve the guidelines for operationalisation of various components of the scheme, including the approval of the charges to be paid to the nodal agency; it would sanction projects, including modification of revision of estimates and monitor and review the implementation of the scheme.

It would also sanction activities to be taken up by the ministry under part C of the scheme, appoint agencies for verification and validation of base-line data systems and approve conversion of loan into grant.

The spokesman said that the Power Finance Corporation would be the nodal agency for the programme, and would provide manpower, material and other logistic support to the committee for smooth implementation of the programme.
