Chhattisgarh Launches Half Electricity Bill Scheme
The Chhattisgarh government has started a new scheme called the Half Electricity Bill Scheme.
This scheme helps families who use electricity at home.
If a family uses up to 200 units of electricity in a month, they only have to pay half of their bill.
This will help more than 36 lakh families.
The government also said that families using between 200 and 400 units will get the half bill benefit for the first 200 units for one year.
This is to help them switch to solar power.

They have also set up help desks to answer any questions.
