(a) to (d) :  Government  of  India  launched  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) in December, 2014 for various rural electrification works  including  separation  of  agriculture  and  non-agriculture  feeders, strengthening and augmentation of sub-transmission & distribution infrastructure,  metering  of  distribution  transformers/  feeders/consumers and electrification of villages across the country. Providing free electricity  connections  to  the  Below  Poverty  line  (BPL)  households  and providing  access  to  electricity  for  the  rural  households  was  one  of  the components under DDUGJY.

.........2.

Works for household electrification were also executed under the scheme based on proposal of States for un-electrified households left out  under  SAUBHAGYA Scheme.  The State-wise and year-wise details, including  for  the  State  of  Rajasthan,  of  the  number  of  Households electrified under DDUGJY is enclosed at Annexure-I.

However,  the  benefit  of the scheme was extended to entire population of the State including the ones  residing  in  scheduled  area.  District-wise  details  of  Households electrified  under  DDUGJY  in  the  State  of  Rajasthan  is  enclosed  at Annexure-II.
