Details

In 2015, the government had launched the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) to electrify 18,000 villages across India. Electrification of villages only requires providing power to 10% of households and in public areas such as health centres, schools, panchayat office, dispensaries, and community centres. The remaining 90% of residents were not covered under this project. But the ‘Saubhagya’ project intends to rectify that. It aims to provide power to all households without power.
﻿
