Summary:
Under its incentive-led SEFALI (Society's Empowerment for Assuring Livelihood) programme, FEDCO engages WSHGs for metering, billing and collection of energy charges from its consumers. “The ownership shown by the 133 women SHGs in understanding and implementing operational efficiency is a ready model for stakeholders to refer and replicate,” Mr Mohanty added. As part of extending the successful and matured SEFALI engagement programme beyond Nayagarh, FEDCO conducted awareness and sensitization campaigns in various gram panchayats under Sadar section of Puri Electricity Division. We have already identified 9 more such SHGs and by the end of October 2019, we should have 33 women SHGs working with us in Puri,” said Smt Subhasmita Mishra, Head of SEFALI at FEDCO. The Company has established a SHG managing team of social experts to provide support to the SHG group on a daily basis..
