Rural electrification


Narendra Modi tweeted that
28th April 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development journey of India. Yesterday, we fulfilled a commitment due to which the lives of several Indians will be transformed forever! I am delighted that every single village of India now has access to electricity.


Let us see How Narendra Modi government has fared on electrification in regard to UPA government through official report.

In Short
Total villages electrified in UPA tenure      1,24,552
Average rate for UPA      15,569 villages per year
Total villages electrified in NDA tenure     33,318
Average rate for NDA      8,330 villages per year


In Short Narendra Modi government on average has gone at a half the rate of UPA in rural electrification of villages.

One could argue that it may become progressively difficult as more villages are electrified (low hanging fruit argument) But the trend of villages covered does not support the argument. There is no continuous decline in number of villages electrified year on year basis. There are ups and downs.
