The state of Bihar announced that on December 1 it will roll out a public campaign urging wealthy households to give up their entitlement to free electricity.

The campaign will involve outreach through local media and community meetings, with the government asking affluent families to voluntarily surrender the free power benefit as a gesture of social responsibility.
