The setting up of a state-level hydroelectric corporation is on the anvil in West Bengal. It is common knowledge that a mix of hydro and thermal power offers a larger stability in power generation and distribution in any area or state. The Left Front ministry is seized of the issue and the proposal is being pursued at the highest level.

There has also been progress in the work of rural electrification but foreign loans will also be much more costly than before although the criterion for electrification of a village will have to be changed. Erecting a pole merely will not brand a village as electrified. The Congress during its more than thirty years of rule simply erected poles sparingly in villages as a rule of course without actually supplying power. The situation has changed. Power has reached many blocks, villages in the districts and there is greater demand for power from the villagers. But it has to be admitted that supplying electricity to all the villages in the state of West Bengal will take time.
