ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF POWER AND NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY
(SHRI R.K. SINGH)
(a) : The Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana–SAUBHAGYA in October, 2017 with the objective of achieving universal household electrification, by providing electricity connections to all un- electrified households in rural areas and all poor households in urban areas in the country. Salient features of the scheme were:
(i) Providing last mile connectivity and electricity connections to all un- electrified households in rural areas.
(ii) Providing Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) based standalone systems for un- electrified households located in remote and inaccessible villages / habitations where grid extension is not feasible or cost effective.
(iii) Providing last mile connectivity and electricity connections to all remaining economically poor un-electrified households in urban areas. Non-poor urban households are excluded from this scheme.
(b) to (e) : Under the aegis of SAUBHAGYA, as on 31.03.2019, all households were reported electrified by the States, except 18,734 households in Left Wing Extremists(LWE) affected areas of Chhattisgarh. Subsequently, seven States namely Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Manipur, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh had reported that around 19.09 lakh un-electrified households, identified before 31.03.2019, which were unwilling earlier but later expressed willingness to get electricity connection. This was also sanctioned. All these seven States had reported 100% household electrification as on 31.03.2021. A total of 2.817 crore households were electrified since the launch of SAUBHAGYA, up to 31.03.2021. 4.43 lakh additional households, which were identified as un-electrified before 31.03.2019, were given electricity connections under DDUGJY. As such, a total of 2.86 crore households were electrified till 31.03.2022. A certificate was taken from all States/ UTs that all eligible households have been electrified. The state-wise details of number of household covered are enclosed at Annexure.
