Answer:

Rural electrification is the process of bringing electrical power to rural and remote areas. Rural communities are suffering from colossal market failures as the national grids fall short of their demand for electricity. As of 2017, over 1 billion people worldwide lack household electric power – 14% of the global population. [1] Electrification typically begins in cities and towns and gradually extends to rural areas, however, this process often runs into road blocks in developing nations. Expanding the national grid is expensive and countries consistently lack the capital to grow their current infrastructure. Additionally, amortizing capital costs to reduce the unit cost of each hook-up is harder to do in lightly populated areas (yielding higher per capita share of the expense). If countries are able to overcome these obstacles and reach nationwide electrification, rural communities will be able to reap considerable amounts of economic and social development.

After the economic liberalisation eraBCCL3/5After the economic liberalisation era

The economic liberalisation era saw the slowest pace of rural electrification. Deteriorating financial conditions of state electricity boards slowed down the tempo as only 44,000 villages were electrified in this period.

From 2004 onwards, focus shifted to house hold, rather than village electrification. Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) was launched in March 2005 to give access to electricity to all households and free electricity to all BPL homes. In December 2014, DDU Gram Jyoti Yojana was launched including all components of the previous scheme. PM Modi's Saubhagya scheme was to fund the cost of last mile connectivity.

Is it possible to achieve 100% electrification by 2018?BCCL4/5Is it possible to achieve 100% electrification by 2018?

Power minister RK Singh said the deadline of 100% household electrification by March 31, 2019, has been advanced to December 31, 2018. Average electrification rate for Jan-April period for which monthly electrification data is available shows that it seems unlikely government will be able to electrify all households at the same pace.

Among states with highest unelectrified households Madhya Pradesh will be the only one to achieve this if its pace of electrification remains what it's been the last four months.
