ELECTRIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLDS UNDER SAUBHAGYA SCHEME
ELECTRIFICATION OF HOUSEHOLDS UNDER SAUBHAGYA SCHEME
Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA) in October, 2017 with the objective of providing electricity connections to all willing un-electrified households in rural areas and all willing poor households in urban areas in the country. All sanctioned works have been successfully completed under SAUBHAGYA and scheme stands closed as on 31.03.2022. As reported by the States, around 2.86 crore households have been electrified during the SAUBHAGYA Period. State-wise details are at Annexure.
Government of India is further supporting the States for on-grid electrification of all left out households under the ongoing scheme of Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) based upon survey conducted by Utilities. This includes works sanctioned for electrification of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) households identified under PM-JANMAN (Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan), tribal households under DA-JGUA (Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan), Scheduled Caste households under Pradhan Mantri Anusuchit Jaati Abhyuday Yojana (PM-AJAY) and households in remote & border areas under Vibrant Village Program (VVP), wherever found feasible. Till date, under RDSS, works amounting to Rs 6,487 Cr have been sanctioned for electrification of 13.59 lakh households across the country.
In addition, under New Solar Power Scheme, works amounting to Rs. 50 Cr. have been sanctioned for off-grid solar based electrification of 9,961 households as on 30th June, 2025.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Power, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
