The Goa government has decided to suspend its ambitious 'Jyotirmay Goa' scheme under which it provided LED bulbs to the consumers due to dip in demand. This scheme will be replaced by another scheme under which tubelights, fans and bulbs will be provided at a cheaper rate to the people. The state government had launched 'Jyotirmay Goa' scheme in July last year through which seven lakh LED bulbs were distributed to the consumers till date. "The response to Jyotirmay Goa scheme was going down with passing time. That is why we have decided to suspend it," state power minister Pandurang Madkaikar told reporters on Monday.
