Berhampur, July 26 :<\/strong> TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL) continues its transformative journey towards rural empowerment by extending its \u201cModel Gram Panchayat (GP)\u201d initiative to 14 more GPs across Southern Odisha. Earlier, the company successfully achieved its vision by developing 113 Model GPs, benefiting around 2 lakh people in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative, rooted in TPSODL\u2019s commitment to \u201cEnhance customer experience through reliable power supply and quality services\u201d, focuses on improving the lives of rural consumers by offering a superior experience in areas such as power supply reliability, timely meter reading and billing, new connections, grievance redressal, and overall customer support. It also emphasizes electrical safety, community awareness, and digital empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Model GP program is specially designed for gram panchayats that require reliability improvement and safety awareness. These villages, selected from across TPSODL\u2019s eight operational districts, are now witnessing transformation in the quality of services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past financial year, several impactful activities were carried out under this initiative. As part of its corporate social responsibility program, TPSODL conducted digital literacy camps to promote the use of e-pay platforms, organized livelihood enhancement programs for women Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and \u201cClub Enerji\u201d sessions aimed at energy conservation in Model GPs. Additionally, TPSODL undertook infrastructure works including pole replacement, network augmentation, cable replacement, and the upgradation of Distribution Transformers (DTRs), ensuring a more stable and efficient power supply in these rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vision of the Model GP initiative goes beyond just electrification. It is about empowering communities through access to reliable electricity, building zero-unsafe locations, promoting awareness on electrical safety, and setting up Fuse Call Complaint Centres (Sampark Kendra) for quick resolution of power issues. It also encourages consumers to opt for e-bills and e-payments, enabling them to receive financial benefits while contributing to environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the initiative, TPSODL CEO Mr. Amit Kumar Garg said, \u201cWe remain committed to driving inclusive growth through the Model GP initiative. This program is not only about better power supply, it\u2019s about building empowered communities. By integrating digital technology, safety, and quality service, we are developing a robust and consumer-centric power distribution system in rural areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this expansion, the total number of model Gram Panchayats has reached 127. This initiative now spans across 8 districts of Southern Odisha, namely Ganjam, Rayagada, Gajapati, Koraput, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Kandhamal and Boudh, and covers all 19 divisions under TPSODL\u2019s operational jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the near future, the company plans to adopt more Model GPs. Through this initiative, TPSODL reaffirms its vision of strengthening rural communities, making quality electricity service a cornerstone of growth for villages in Southern Odisha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
