Which one of the following is a purpose of 'UDAY', a scheme of the Government?

1. A

   Providing technical and financial assistance to start-up entrepreneurs in the field of renewable sources of energy

   Technical and financial help to renewable start-ups. That is closer to other innovation or MNRE start-up windows, not UDAY. This letter is not the key.

2. B

   Providing electricity to every household in the country by 2018

   Electricity to every household by 2018. Household electrification was Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti / Saubhagya territory, not UDAY’s core. This letter is not the key.

3. C

   Replacing the coal-based power plants with natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind and tidal power plants over a period of time

   Replacing coal plants with gas, nuclear and renewables over time. UDAY is not a generation-mix swap programme. This letter is not the key.

4. D

   Providing for financial turnaround and revival of power distribution companies

   Financial turnaround of DISCOMs. Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (2015) lets states take over a large share of distribution-company debt, rework tariffs and cut AT&C losses so utilities can buy power and invest. That stored letter is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) financial turnaround and revival of power distribution companies. UDAY is a state-DISCOM debt and efficiency compact, not a start-up, last-mile household or coal-replacement scheme. Honour the stored letter (d).
