ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (welfare schemes, state policies) and GS-III (energy, subsidies). Universal free-power guarantees raise the issue of targeting: ensuring subsidy reaches genuine domestic consumers, not locked, vacant or duplicate connections. Verification drives such as the Bescom survey can curb leakages and protect discom finances; the way forward is data-based beneficiary verification, transparent audits and timely subsidy reimbursement to discoms.
