Audit lessons for UDAY implementation
CSTEP conducted a training session on energy auditing and AT&C loss calculation process in Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (CESC). DISCOM officials from Holenarsipur division, Hangarhalli and Holenarsipur sub-divisions, and Halli Mysore section office participated.
Two-day hands-on training workshop on air pollution and instrumentation
Twenty students from Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences were trained in basic concepts of air pollution and its impact as well as measurement techniques at a two-day workshop organised by the Centre for Air Pollution Studies (CAPS). The first of a series of workshops targeted at undergraduate and post-graduate students, the workshop placed scientific evidence at the heart of policy measures to combat air pollution. At CSTEP, we understand that public action is key to reducing air pollution and thereby, its impact on health.

Feeder-Wise Revenue Analysis and Monitoring of Energy Sales (FRAMES)
The Indian power-distribution sector has been plagued with inherent issues of high aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses and a wide gap between the cost incurred and revenue realised. Most distribution companies (DISCOMs) continue to struggle with these issues even after the implementation of Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY), launched for the revival of the distribution sector. This study puts forth a framework developed with the intention to ameliorate the position of Indian DISCOMS.
Comprehensive Clean Air Action Plan for the City of Patna
The year-long study identified source-specific control measures (CMs) and assessed their technological and economic feasibility for implementation. The study included the development of an emission inventory for Patna and several focused group discussions with stakeholders to understand the pollution landscape.
