Everyone talks about solar power, windmills, and hydro energy. They sound cool, modern, and full of potential. But there's one thing that keeps all these energy sources running smoothly power transmission!

India has a big problem: energy is not evenly spread across the country. Some places have lots of power, while others struggle with shortages. For example:

Coal is mostly found in central and eastern India.

Hydro energy (from rivers) is mainly in the Himalayan region.

Wind and solar energy are strong in Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and a few other states.

This is where power transmission comes in! It acts as a bridge that carries electricity from where it's made to where it's needed.

A huge achievement in India's energy story happened on December 31, 2013 the day we connected the Southern Grid to the rest of the country. This created "One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency," allowing power to flow everywhere in India.

Without transmission, the whole energy system would collapse like a Jenga tower! And guess what? This sector is now getting a lot of attention even in the latest government budget.

So next time you hear about solar panels or wind farms, remember the real hero behind the scenes- power transmission!
