Power And Pollution: An Analytical Study

Abstract

In these times when the sweep of modernity is altering every facet of life on the Earth, electricity has acted and continues to act as the catalyst which has made these changes possible. So, it is only commendable and a valuable asset for the state when Chhattisgarh has not only managed to generate enough electricity to fulfill its own needs, but also has produced in excess year after year. CSEB (Chhattisgarh state electricity board) is in a strong position to meet the electricity requirement of the state and boasts of a good financial health.

But on the other side of the coin, such a massive production of electricity has also resulted in air pollution which is proving to be a huge threat to health of the denizens of the state.
