What was launched on Electrical Safety Day 2025 by MoS Power and New &…

Concept — A current-affairs launch is pinned down by three anchors: the ministry or body that hosts the occasion, the date of the observance, and the type of deliverable released — a public-outreach item, a standards document, an infrastructure programme, or an operational tool. A candidate fits only when all three anchors agree.

Application — Electrical Safety Day 2025 was observed on 26 June 2025 in New Delhi, hosted by the Central Electricity Authority under the Ministry of Power. The Minister of State for Power and New & Renewable Energy, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, launched the official electrical-safety mascot named Suraksha Shakti at the event, and also released the Electrical Safety Handbook. The three anchors — a Ministry of Power observance, 26 June 2025, and a public-outreach deliverable — all fit the mascot, so what was launched is the Suraksha Shakti safety mascot.

Cross-check — The other named items belong to different tracks of Indian power and safety administration:

• National Fire Safety Code — fire and life-safety requirements for buildings in India are codified in Part 4 of the National Building Code and enforced through state fire-service rules, a building-standards track that the Ministry of Power does not administer.

• Smart Meter Adoption Program — prepaid smart metering is rolled out under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme as a distribution-reform measure aimed at cutting AT&C losses, not as a safety-day release.

• Digital Grid Optimization Tool — grid-optimisation software is operational technology used by load-despatch centres for load forecasting, network modelling and dispatch scheduling.

Result — The Suraksha Shakti safety mascot was launched on Electrical Safety Day 2025 by Shri Shripad Naik.
