## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : There is no upfront allocation of funds to any State/District under Deen Dayal Upadhyaya  Gram   Jyoti    Yojana   (DDUGJY).     Funds  are    released  against  sanctioned projects,  in  instalments,  based  on  the  reported  utilization  of  amount  in  the  previous installment(s) and fulfillment of other conditionalities. The State-wise funds disbursed under DDUGJY including the RE component during the last three years and current year, are  given at Annexure-I. (b) : As  informed  by  the  States,  there  were  18,452  un-electrified  villages  in  the Country  as  on      01.04.2015.  Out  of  these,  10,628  villages  have  been  electrified  as  on 31.10.2016. The Year-wise and State-wise target  are  given at Annexure-II. (c) : Under DDUGJY, a total of 427 Lakh Below Poverty Line (BPL)  households are covered  for  release  of  free  electricity  connections.  The  State-wise  details  are  given  at Annexure-III.    Under  DDUGJY,  all  the  villages  are  targeted  to  be  electrified  including backward villages. (d) : The data regarding rural electrification including electrification of villages is reported by the concerned State Governments and State Distribution Companies (DISCOMs). Rural  Electrification  Corporation  (REC),  being  the  Nodal  Agency  for  operationalization  of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), has deployed Gram Vidyut Abhiyantas (GVAs), who  visit villages and report the situation. If any discrepancy is found, States/DISCOMs are advised   by REC  to rectify the status. (e) : There were some delay in the completion of the DDUGJY projects due to delay in  forest  &  railway  clearances,  land  acquisition  for  33/11  KV  sub-stations,  Right  of  Way (RoW) issues, providing BPL lists, law & order issues including naxal problem and difficult terrain in some of the States. Penalty is imposed by the respective implementing agencies on the contractors, if the delay is attributable to the contractors as per extant rules. Multilevel monitoring mechanism has been developed at Central and State level. (f) & (g) : As per DDUGJY  guidelines, respective State Governments/State Power Utilities    need  to  ensure  auditing  of  accounts  relating  to  receipts  of  funds  from  REC  and expenditure  incurred  by  the  Utility  against  such  receipts  during  the  financial  year  by  the independent  Chartered  Accountant  and  furnish  the  report  to  REC  latest  by  30th    June  of succeeding year.  Accordingly, REC has requested all the implementing agencies of DDUGJY for compliance.  No complaint in this regard has been received.
