ATTRIBUTES OF POWER OUTAGE IN BOTH THE DEVELOPED AND THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES DIFFERS, DESPITE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A GENERALIZED SCIENTIFIC APPROACH AND A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION TO THE RECURRING PROBLEM OF POWER OUTAGE IN MANY COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD AND INDIA HAS NOT BEEN THE EXCEPTION.


         Although scientific problems often requires scientific solution, unscientific investigations and conclusions remains recurring problem on issues that required scientific approach, or solution in many countries of the World of both the developed and the developing countries, particularly on the rising concern about frequent power outage that has been termed as the "black-out", due to insufficient generation of electric power, or infrastructure failure in overwhelmed electric generators generating capacity, or overloaded electric grids and India hasn't been the exception in the series of recorded power outage around the World over larger areas and for extended period of time that exceeded fourty eight hours, besides the extend of chaos and damage it had brought forth along with. However, attributes of power outage in the developed and the developing countries differs, despite the requirement for a generalized scientific approach and a scientific solution to the recurring problem of power outage in many countries of the World. In the developed countries of the World causes of insufficient electric power generation, or power outage has been attributed to the rising demand in electric power consumption in many households and less preparedness for the required changes in the energy policies of the developed countries from the current sources of electric power generation to the environment friendly sources such as the Solar and the Wind energy sources, while failing infrastructures and unauthorized hook-up on main electric cables in remote areas remains the cause of power outage in the developing countries.
