It is usual to have the government’s assertion of staying the course of achieving “one-nation-one-grid” in Budget 2019 reflects its determination of framing policies which targets the integration of the nation. “To take connectivity infrastructure to the next level, we will build on the successful model in ensuring power connectivity — one nation, one grid — that has ensured power availability to states at affordable rates,” finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her maiden budget announcement.
Espousing the similar idea of national integrity, the government had also recently announced that it is going to implement the “one nation-one ration card” scheme in the whole country by June 30, 2020.
