Jaipur, Oct 25 (NationPress) Aligned with the vision of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Rajasthan’s Discoms are making remarkable advancements in delivering quality, accessible, and consumer-focused electricity services. These efforts aim to enhance service delivery while introducing innovations that promote accountability and transparency.
In preparation for Diwali 2025, a special campaign was launched by the Discoms which successfully provided 37,251 domestic electricity connections throughout the state.
To foster consumer engagement, Jaipur Discom has implemented a 'Star Rating' feedback system, allowing direct consumer input to improve service quality.
The campaign prioritized resolving pending cases and delivering new connections in an efficient manner. Discoms streamlined all essential processes - including document verification, site inspections, and demand note issuance - while ensuring timely access to line materials at storage facilities.
Consequently, Jaipur Discom provided 17,373 connections, Ajmer Discom issued 15,433 connections, and Jodhpur Discom delivered 4,445 connections. This accomplishment showcases the government's proactive efforts in guaranteeing timely electricity access for all households.
To boost accountability and monitor service quality, Jaipur Discom has created an independent feedback system for consumers obtaining new connections.
Once a domestic connection is activated, consumers receive an SMS link to download the 'Bijli Mitra' mobile application.
By entering their 'K' number, users can rate their experience from 1 to 5 stars through a feedback pop-up. These ratings are reviewed monthly at both circle and subdivision levels, with the offices of Superintending Engineer and Assistant Engineer ranked according to performance.
This initiative enables continuous enhancements in service delivery and improved oversight of field officers and staff, according to officials.
In addition to app-based feedback, Jaipur Discom has also been gathering consumer perspectives through its helpline 181.
From April 1 to August 15, 2025, a total of 75,746 consumers who recently received connections were contacted, collecting valuable insights to refine service procedures and boost consumer satisfaction.
