The Government’s ambitious scheme to provide electricity to every household in the country has achieved remarkable success with 15 states reporting 100% electrification.

Saubhagya – Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana was launched in September 2017, with an objective to provide access to electricity to all the remaining households in the country. As many as 2.1 crore connections have been provided since the scheme’s launch.

Electrification has direct positive impact on the quality of all aspects of daily life, especially to the women and children.With deeper penetration, significant improvement is expected in other services like education, health, communication, etc. It gives a boost to economic activities leading to employment generation, increase in income and poverty alleviation.

In order to ensure that no un-electrified household is left in the States which have already achieved 100% household electrification, they have been requested to take up the campaign to publicise the achievement all across the areas. For creating healthy competition amongst various power departments of States and distribution companies (DISCOMs), an award scheme has been instituted with awards of more than ₹300 crore to be won by States/Discoms.

With Saubhagya, Every Household in 15 States Now has Electricity

Nine out of ten households now use cleaner LPG for cooking, a record improvement over just about five in ten homes four years ago. Oil PSUs have added nearly 10 crore consumers since April 2015. By the end of October 89% of households have access to LPG which is a sharp jump from 56.2% on April 1, 2015. The increased LPG coverage is a consequence of the government’s determination to popularise the fuel by expanding its reach and subsidising subscription to poor families.
