coal shortage.
INTRO
A-
Logo ke ghar ki batti gul ho rhi , lambe lambe power cuts lag rahe hai

Aur Ab koyle bhi passenger train mein travel kar rahe hai wo bhi bina ticket.

S-
121 saal mein pehli br itni garmi padi ki bijli kam pad rahi hai

isilye ab clean energy ki demand bhi badh rhi hai

(( Very good please use it))

India aaj coal crisis ko face kar raha hai.

jiska seedha impact padta hai electricity ki production par.

( India mein coal/koyle ki kami ho rhi hai , jiska seedha impact padta hai electricity ki
production par ) (( Ok))
____________________

S-
India ki total power supply me 60% akele thermal power se aata hai jo mainly coal pe
dependent hai.

Or aise hi 108 power plants ke pass sirf 7-8 din ka coal bacha hai

Par achanak se aesa kya ho gya ki itni badi crisis ho gyi h ?

A- Higher Temperature

Iska pehla reason hai bahut jyada garmi

1901 ke baad se is saal ka march sabse zyada garm tha

Usually har saal jitni electricity demand may/ june me aati hai
Is bar wo march me aane lagi kyunki

Is unexpected garmi ki wajah se North India me Heat waves chalne lagi ((pause))
Or april 29 ko india ne apni all time high demand ko touch kiya

S-
Shortage of Imported coal

India coal ka second-largest producer bhi hai or importer bhi

domestic coal ke quality issues ki wajah se

electricity banane ke liye hum coal import par dependent hai

Or issi imported coal ki supplies me kami aayi hai

But kyu??

russian coal par lage sanctions ne globally coal ke prices bohot badha diye
Last year $ 90 per ton wala coal ab $325 per ton me bik raha hai

Isliye industrial sector bhi domestic coal ka use kar raha hai
Jisne uski demand badha ka shortage create kar di hai

A- Shortages of rakes (Train coaches “dabbe” jisse coal supply hota hai)

{{Show below Image}}

Coal Import ke elawa problems or bhi hai

Electricity banane ke liye jitna zaroori coal hai utna hi zaroori hai coal ko power plants
tak pahuchna.

Aaj Shortage sirf coal ki nahi balki un trains ki bhi hai jinke through coal ko transport
kiya jata hai

Ab ekdum se aayi demand ki wajah har power plant tak trains timely nahi pahuch
rahi

Or halat ye hai ki passenger train ka use coal transport me ho raha hai

Ideally ye hona toh pehle chahiye tha but better late than never

S- Non payment to coal supplier

Ek last factor jiski wajah se problem badi ban gayi (( Optional line))

Hamare power plants ko 70% coal supply government company coal india karti hai

{{show their logo}}

Aur Har state apni requirement ke according inse coal purchase karta hai

Lekin kai baar states or electricity companies apne payment me defaults karti hai
jisse coal ki supply affect hoti hai or ultimately production ghat ta hai

But government kya actions le rahi hai?

A-
Is tarah ke power crisis se deal karne ke liye government ek law ka use karti hai

((This line is lengthy but unavoidable ))

section 11 of electricity act 2003

Ye law government ko power deta ki emergency situations me power generating

companies ko direction de or unke operations ko manage kare

Present scenario me bhi gov ne aise power plants ko full capacity par production karne
ko kaha hai jo expensive coal ke chalte production nahi kar rahe
A- Par kya koi iska solution bhi hai ya har saal hume ye face krna pdega ?

S-
Long Term Solution: Clean energy

India pehli baar aise crisis ko face nahi kar raha

Almost har summer season me situation “aisi hi hoti hai”

Asal me problem hai fossil fuels par hamari overdependence.

Jab oil, gas, coal ki supply chain me problem aati hai tab aisi crisis ko face karna padta
hai.

India me electricity ka 3/4th sirf thermal power ke through produces hota hai
Jabki other countries kafi had tak clean energy par shift ho chuki hai.

((Show below image with this line))

A- Clean energy ka matlab hai Solar, hydro, nuclear power ko use karke
electricity generate karna.
Ye options fossil fuels se kahi zada reliable hai or less polluting bhi.

Fossil fuels ke liye jaha hume other countries par depend karna padta hai
Wahi ye sources hume nature se freely available hai, zaroorat hai to bas inko sahi tarah
se use karne ki.

India bhi aaj bohot tezi se is direction me kaam kar raha hai
Or total electricity production me inka contribution ab badh kar 40% ho chuka hai

S-
Ab aap sochenge agar clean energy se problem solve ho sakti hai to phir hum coal use
hi kyu karte hai??

>> Kuch hurdles aisi hai jo clean energy ke use ko limit karti hai

1) Cost: Clean energy ka sabse bada drawback hai isse judi hui cost.

Is tarah ke power projects ko lagane ke liye bohot zyada funds ki zaroorat hoti hai

India jaise developing country ke liye itne mehenge projects ko large scale par karna
possible nahi hai
{{optional line}} warna use health education or defence jaise sector me apna spend kam
karna hoga.

A-

2) reliability : Solar,wind or hydro power kafi had tak weather par dependent hai.
ye tabhi power produce kar sakte hai jab weather favourable ho.

Aise me country ki badhti hui power demand ko puri tarah se in sources par nahi dala ja
sakta

S-

3) Community concerns

Is tarah ke power projects lagane me ek issue or hai. Logo ke beech misinformation

is wajahse ya to aise project start hi nahi hote ya bohot delay ho jate hai.
Early 2000 me jab government tamilnadu ke kudankulam me nuclear power plant
Set up kar rahi thi tab use logo ka protest jhelna pada.
Yaha logo ko darr tha ki isse unki health or unke business par kharab impact padega

Moreover aise power plant ke liye large scale par land acquire karni hoti hai jo apne aap
me kafi difficult or time taking process hai.

A-
In sabhi baaton ka crux yahi hai ki

Indian economy ke sath uski energy ki demand bhi badh rahi hai ((pause))
or kisi bhi tarah ki power crisis economy ke liye bohot negative ho sakti hai.

Rahi baat coal crisis ki to iske liye hume (india) kuch improvements karene chahioye

1) Gov ko Coal supply chain me private companies ko lana hoga

2) Coal ke transportation ke liye dedicated trains
3) Power distribution companies ko or zada efficient banana hoga
Agr hum yeh sab chzn kr lein th ho skta h ki humari country iss crisis se efficiently deal
kr payegi aur ho skta h ki future mei aisi challenge hume na face krni pade aur coal
supply bhi consistent ho jaye.

Pr aap apna consistent support hume dete rahiye aur plus grow ko subscrise krye
coal crisi ki to Let’s see what's in the offing.
