Introduction
Electricity is the key to accelerating economic growth,

generation of employment, elimination of poverty and human development specially in rural areas.
The sources of energy for India are fossil fuels like gas,

coal, oil etc, nuclear and, non-conventional energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, small hydro, geo-thermal, tidal etc.
Provision of electricity is essential to cater for requirements

of agriculture and other important activities including small and medium industries and village industries, cold chains, health care, education and information technology.

A village would be classified as electrified based on a Certificate issued by the Gram Panchayat, certifying that

a) Basic infrastructure such as Distribution Transformer and Distribution Lines are provided in the inhabited locality. b) Electricity is provided to public places like Schools, Panchayat Office, Health Centers, Dispensaries, Community Centers etc.; and c) The number of households electrified are at least 10% of the total number of households in the village.

Objectives Of Rural Electrification

To assist with poverty reduction

To assist in the provision of basic social services

To improve the standard of living and increase

quality of life To address local health To assist with economic development including income generation To assist with the reduction in the number of people migrating to urban areas To assist with national integration

Goals
The Policy aims at : Provision of access to electricity to all rural

households by year 2014. Quality and reliable power supply at reasonable rates. Achieving 100% village electrification status.

Selection of On-Grid or Off-Grid

Conventional

power generation technologies remain more economical for most large gridconnected applications. (Large-scale) conventional generation for off-grid. (Smallscale).Also has advantage of eco-friendly systems.

Renewable energy is more economical than

Hybrid systems consisting of both conventional

and renewable technologies can be designed for greater reliability, load-management and lowrunning cost factors.

Funding and Financial Assisting

Subsidy provision in the budget by GOI to

facilitate rural electrification.

Loan

can be taken from World bank or nationalized banks, repayment will be done by govt. by indirect income from taxes generated from increased rural development.

Corporate and private sector can be lured to

provide cheap services and equipments by showing them the scope of new market.
10

Billing System
End User (under-privilaged) : 30-40%

GOI (Subsidy) : 60-70%

End User (reservation & under-privilaged) : 10-

20% GOI (Subsidy) : 80-90%

End User (rest) : 50% GOI (Subsidy) : 50%

11

Provisions
There is a less demand factor problem in rural

areas. So, technology/growth based push will be created by GOI, NGOs and private sectors. Tariff collection, theft control will be responsibility of Gram panchayat. Surplus electricity generation through off grid measures can be transferred to other areas to control load-shedding. Policy will be designed on long-term approach so that short-term losses can be suppressed.
12

Challenges in Rural Electrification

Huge burden on GOI as it will require investment of

around 1lakh to 50lakh based on factors of population, installation cost, running cost etc. per village.
Small

village size, Dispersed population and Remote Locations make it economically nonfeasible. demands from urban areas.

Low energy supply due to existing high energy

Hilly terrain areas, natural-calamity prone areas are

hurdles in implementation of the policy.

13

Conclusion
Rural Electrification should be seen as a long

term process.
Broader development goals should be kept in

mind like social and economic development of rural areas rather than just profit.
Various programs like National Solar Mission,

Wind and Hydro Energy Expansion.

14

 NGOs and Local Bodies should be used in order

to achieve the goals of Rural Electrification.

PPP between GOI and private sector can link

policy changes with financing to promote Rural Electrification.
