Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s innovative leadership has been credited with averting a crisis in the power sector and initiating the transformative Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY), as detailed in the new book by author R Balasubramaniam.

Launched in 2015, the UDAY scheme aims to achieve a comprehensive financial and operational revival of power distribution companies across India. The initiative was designed to address the longstanding challenges faced by the sector, ensuring a sustainable and efficient power supply.

In his book titled Power Within: The Leadership Legacy of Narendra Modi, Balasubramaniam highlights Modi’s attentiveness to diverse viewpoints and his commitment to seeking innovative, out-of-the-box solutions. The author emphasizes Modi’s ability to create an environment that encourages junior officers to contribute ideas to the policymaking process.

The UDAY scheme stands as a testament to Modi’s proactive approach in tackling critical issues and fostering collaboration within the government. As the power sector continues to evolve, the impact of UDAY is expected to resonate for years to come, driving positive change and enhancing the overall energy landscape in India.
