No More Ghosts, Says Nitish Kumar As 1.39-Crore Bihar Households Power Up

Nitish Kumar had declared all the 39,073 villages of Bihar electrified in December 2017.

PATNA: 

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today announced that his government has extended electricity to all the 1.39 crore households in the state much ahead of the December 31 deadline, an achievement that will go a long way in empowering its residents.

"Parents in rural areas will no longer have to dissuade their children from stepping out at night by saying that there are ghosts lurking in the dark. Now that all the villages in Bihar are electrified, people can step out whenever they please," said Mr Kumar, clearly ecstatic about the development.

But the electricity department's work in the state is far from over. The Bihar Chief Minister identified two important tasks that were yet to be completed -- the installation of separate power feeders for agriculture and the replacement of old wires -- and instructed officials to address them at the earliest.

"Things have become much better now. Our children are able to study regularly, and the women in the household are able to do their chores without much difficulty," said Arvind Kumar, a resident of Patna.

Although the coming of electricity has made many happy, it is greeted with suspicion in some parts of rural Bihar. One such sceptic, Pramod Kumar from Phulwarisharif area, continues dines with his family under a hurricane lamp. "They did come here to electrify my house, but I don't know if I should use it. What if it gets too expensive for me?" he asked.

Mr Kumar had declared all the 39,073 villages of Bihar electrified in December 2017, and promised to ensure that every household received power connections by the same month the following year. He said that the state government's efforts in this regard were a part of his saat nischay (seven resolves) of good governance. "Back in 2005, when we first came to power, small towns and villages in Bihar had all but given up hope of getting electricity. The situation was very bad even in Patna," he said.

Mr Kumar has frequently termed electrification of rural areas as his government's main priority. His model was later adopted by the central government as the "Saubhagya Yojna", a project aimed at electrifying every household in India by December.

 India To Achieve Universal Household Electrification By Jan-End

India is all set to achieve 100 per cent household electrification by the month end, with 2.44 crore families having received power connections out of the targeted 2.48 crore under the Rs 16,320 crore Saubhagya scheme, an official said. The Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (Saubhagya) was launched in September 2017. 
 

"The 100 per cent household electrification under Saubhagya will be achieved by month end. The government has energised 2.44 crore households under the scheme till today," the official said. 

"Around 30,000 families are being provided electricity connection everyday. Therefore, the remaining around four lakh households could be energised by the end of this month itself," the official added. Achieving 100 per cent household electrification was one of the aims of the present government. However, it could not meet the self-imposed deadline of December 2018 for the scheme.
