Also one problem with UJALA initiative is that if I think of replacing all CFL or other lights with leds than what would I do of the old CFL lights there must be some exchange scheme or some money back scheme for old lights

Since Gov is successful in distributing LPG subsidy direct to benefictor, thru Aadhar linked account.. Should use the same principal and use Post office and LPG distributor for PoS ..Since Post office department is an sinking department ideal use of resource and asset it carries should be made use effectively.

for every piece of LED Bulbs the socket can be issued at free of cost

Every one knows the usefulness of LED lights. The main problem is their high prices. Govt should see as to how can the prices of LED lights be reduced.

At first Government should replace all the airports, railway stations, bus stations nd street lights also the government offices with led lights and make the maximum use of solar panels for electricity generation, this would help in a lot of electricity savings because these are the places where electricity is used 24x7. And the UJALA initiative taken by the government will do take care of households electricity saving.

Our Power minister is doing great job of electrifying villages which never seen electricity. I think to increase usage of LEDs, we can provide these newly electrified villages with LEDs. We can also distribute LEDs to Panchayats and ask them to distribute these LEDs as mandatory lighting source at houses in their villages. Keep the prices of LEDs and encourage the use of LEDs thorugh schools, colleges and government offices where students, villagers visit the most.

Sabse pehle to streetlight ko led main badalna shuru Karen jitni bhi Delhi GURGAON ya cities KI RWA societies hain unko order kro KI wo log shuruaat Karen lisse KI bijli ke bill main itni girawat aayegi KI sabhi led 1saal main itni bill main bachat hogi KI ye free main padegi aur agle saalon main bhi bill main bachat jaari rahegi jaise KI kisi RWA SOCIETY ka bill 5 lakh ka aata hai to woh bill 75000 SE 1lakh ka reh jaayega yeh 1 machine KI bachat hai Jo kam SE kam 4 lakh KI banti hai.

(1) More Discounts for more & more LED Bulb purchases should be given by Govt. (2) Compulsoru usage of LED Bulbs in all Govt. Offices, in Govt. Quarters, in Railways, BSNL, LIC, etc. (3)SEPARATE LOWER EB TARIFF FOR LED LIGHTS (wherever LED Bulbs are used, though it may be difficult ). (4) All PVT. companies like PHILIPS, BAJAJ, SURYA, WIPRO, etc. TO BE GIVEN DISCOUNTS FOR MANUFACTURE / SALE OF LED BULBS. (5) LED BULBS TO BE MADE AVAILABLE IN RATION / PDS SHOPS (continuous entry in Ration Card ).

Quality LED bulbs at lower costs is the key to promote their use. The various Tax imposing bodies including State Governments should not be allowed to impose taxes on this item but should be directed to subsidize their sale. Remember Goa Govt. increasing taxes on LED bulbs in their Budget. A clear cut National Policy not to impose taxes on this item and ensuring good quality standards would help making them popular and save the energy...

Need more transparent information on fair LED pricing and certification, as there are multiple new brands and a wide price range today - which is confusing.
