IIT Kharagpur researchers initiate Decision Support System (DCS) to boost LPG connections in BPL Households: Details, Aim, Highlights
IIT Kharagpur researchers have initiated a Decision Support System (DSS) for boosting LPG connections in BPL (Below Poverty Line) households under Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.
Decision Support System (DSS) is a first of its kind for analysis of national-level energy policy.
This kind of DSS can be developed for various central and state level policies for various commodities like agricultural commodities, solar panels distributions and so on.
Decision support system (DSS) is a computer programme that helps in making sound rational decisions using mathematical programming and operation research techniques.
DSS can provide exact values of important parameters over prescribed policy time period, which in turn will help to take important measures to ascertain proper functioning (monitoring) of policy towards the desired goal.
DSS makes easy to predict not only how the number of household connections that can be increased but also the critical region that contributes most in each zone of LPG distribution.
