Overview

Government of India, Ministry of Power (MOP) launched (March 2005) Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) to accelerate the pace of village electrification. MOP subsequently, merged all existing rural electricity programmes of Government of India (GOI) with RGGVY.

The scheme was launched to fulfill the commitment of the National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP) of completing household electrification in 5 years, i.e. by 2009. The target for village electrification was 1,25,000 un-electrified villages and 7.8 crore rural households including free electricity connections to 2.34 crore BPL households by 2009.

At GOI level, MOP was the apex authority responsible for administration of the scheme. Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) was the nodal agency for the scheme responsible for overall implementation including project scrutiny and appraisal, co-ordination, monitoring and release of funds. The scheme was to be further implemented by Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs), i.e. State power utilities (SPUs)/ electricity distribution companies, State Electricity Boards and Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs).
