More than 2.5 lakh households in Uttarakhand have been electrified as part of the Saubhagya scheme – EQ
Dehradun: Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, stated on Tuesday that the Saubhagya scheme has provided electrical connections to over 2.5 lakh homes in the state.
Dhami went on to say that the state’s double-engine government is dedicated to lighting every home by completing the task of reaching 100% electrification in the state.
On September 25, 2017, to commemorate Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s 100th birthday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (SAUBHAGYA).
By giving power connections to all rural and underprivileged urban houses that are not currently electrified, it aimed to realize the goal of universal household electrification.
“The double-engine government is committed to lighting every house by achieving the target of 100 per cent electrification in the state. Under the Saubhagya scheme in the state, electricity connections have been given to more than 2 lakh 50 thousand houses,” a statement from the CM Office said.
