Report of Indian Institute of Public Administration ... - Ministry of Power

• 360 0 feedback was obtained on the Draft Report from the concerned State Governments,
power Utilities, etc.; and
• The report runs into more than 1000 pages spread over four Volumes.
A report of this magnitude is due to the contributions and support of a number of persons,
who made very significant contributions in bringing the report to its present form.
Dr. P.L. Sanjeev Reddy, IAS (R), Project Director and Shri P. Abraham, Project Co-Director
steered the project right from its inception to its finalisation. Their deep knowledge and
perceptive views helped in imparting a sense of direction and focus to the Report.
Reports pertaining to the individual States were prepared by the respective Experts. From the
findings of these Reports, the National Report was built by consensus. All the Experts went
about their task most meticulously and systematically. Despite their onerous duties, they were
always available with their insightful suggestions, for fine-tuning the Report.
Sincere appreciation is also due to S/Shri K.M. Kapoor, P.S. Bhandari, Jaideep Lakhtakia,
and Satish Kumar (of the Ministry of Power) who were very cooperative and provided all
relevant data and inputs required from time to time. Shri A.K. Rajput, Deputy Director, CEA
put in sustained efforts at all stages of preparation of the Report and helped in organising the
inputs and data in a logical and systematic form.
Valuable secretarial assistance was rendered by S/Shri B. Haridasan, Mehar Singh Bisht and
Smt. Nirmala, who most willingly devoted long hours in organising, compiling, the copious
data and inputs and painstakingly entering the same into the computer. Shri J.A. Rama
Moorty, Project Officer, edited the entire Report and also provided administrative assistance.
Shri Sunil Dutt, Publications Officer, IIPA, rendered valuable editorial advice which helped
in making the Report much more presentable. Thanks are also due to S/Shri G.K. Arora,
Kishan Tanwar, Attar Singh, Bhuvan Chander and Islam Ali for the support rendered by them
throughout the duration of the Project.
Besides the above, there have been a number of persons who helped at various stages of the
Project. Constraints of space preclude mentioning them by name. Their contributions are
gratefully acknowledged.
