(a) to (c) : Government of India has supplemented the efforts of the States through schemes like Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA)  etc.,  to  help  them  achieve  the  objective  of  providing  quality  and reliable power supply to all households.

As reported by the States, all the inhabited un-electrified census villages in the country were electrified by 28 th  April, 2018. A total of 18,374 villages were electrified during  DDUGJY  (State  wise  details  enclosed  as  Annexure-I).  Under  DDUGJY  and thereafter under SAUBHAGYA, as reported by all States, electrification of all willing households was completed by 31 st  March, 2019. A total of 2.86 crore households were electrified under the aegis of SAUBHAGYA  (State wise details enclosed as Annexure-II). Both the schemes stand closed as on 31.03.2022.

Government of India is further supporting States for grid electrification of leftout  households  during  SAUBHAGYA,  under  the  ongoing  scheme  of  Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS), launched in July,2021.  In addition, all identified households  belonging  to  Particularly  Vulnerable  Tribal  Group  (PVTG)  under  PMJANMAN (Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan) and tribal households under DA-JGUA (Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan) are being sanctioned for on-grid electricity connection under RDSS as per the scheme guidelines.  Till date, works amounting to Rs. 4,281 Cr. have been sanctioned for electrification of 9,49,548 households  including  PVTG  households  identified  under  PM-JANMAN  and  tribal households identified under DA-JGUA (State wise details enclosed as Annexure-III). Further,  under  New  Solar  Power  Scheme,  works  worth  Rs.  49  Cr.  have  been sanctioned  for  9,863  households  for  off-grid  solar  based  electrification  (State  wise details enclosed as Annexure-IV).
