Proposal for continuation of Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY)
during the 12th and 13th Five Year Plans has been
finalized and the same has been approved by the Government. States have been requested to send DPRs as per the 12th Plan Guidelines for
RGGVY.
648 projects have been sanctioned
covering electrification of 1,12,975
un-electrified (UE) villages, intensive electrification of 3,88,740
partially electrified (PE) villages and
release of free electricity connections to 2.77 crore
BPL households in the country, under RGGVY, during 10th and 11th
Five Year Plan,.
Cumulatively, as on 31.07.2013, electrification
works in 1,07,497 UE villages and 2,99,690 PE villages
have been completed and free electricity connections to 2.11 crore BPL households
have been released.
Those villages where electrification
could not be achieved till date are mostly remotely located or inaccessible
having poor road connectivity or affected due to severe Left Wing Extremist
(LWE) and law and order problems.
The
progress of rural electrification works in the country under RGGVY is generally
satisfactory. However, the progress in
some States is comparatively slow mainly on account of the following reasons:-
· Delay in forest clearance for the
land proposals required for execution of the projects in few districts in Jharkhand and Odisha.
· Delay in execution of work in
district Latehar, Palamu
and Garwha of Jharkhand due
to contractual issues.
· Delays in land acquisition in some States particularly in
Bihar for 33/11 KV sub-stations by States.
·
Poor
upstream rural electricity infrastructure in some States, particularly in Jharkhand.
·
Difficult
terrain in some States, mostly North Eastern States and Jammu & Kashmir.
· Law & order problem including Maoist Violence, in a few
districts in some States among these Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and parts of
Bihar are more seriously affected.

villages and release of free electricity connection to BPL households under
