A government program in India called the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana aims to give rural areas of the country constant access to electricity. The program, abbreviated DDUGJY, is named after political theorist Deen Dayal Upadhyaya. The Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana is replaced by the DDUGJY as the current program with a comparable goal.
The project seeks to separate the feeders (households and agriculture) and to improve the infrastructure for distribution and transmission. The rural economy is frequently seen as having its foundation in rural electrification. Additionally, the government wants to fix India's rural electricity meters at every level. The government of India (GOI) intends to invest Rs. 756 billion in the electrification of rural areas as part of this scheme. The implementation of this plan will also spark additional reforms in rural areas. The following require energy in rural areas:
1. Cooking.
2. Basic illumination.
3. Irrigation.
4. Conversation.
5. Heating the water.
6. Cottage industries, for example.
India has only succeeded in electrifying 67.3% of the country's total land area (urban and rural combined), despite launching ambitious programs to do so.
States provided a list of 18,452 unlit villages as of April 1, 2015, based on the Census of 2011. The Deen Dayal program was introduced in 2014 in light of the government's rural electrification initiative.
In this article, we examine the Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana and the government's DDUGJY program, as well as the problems and potential solutions associated with rural electrification.
1. To make sure that every village has electricity.
2. Feeder separation to ensure that farmers have access to enough power and that other consumers receive it on a regular basis.
3. Improving sub-transmission and distribution networks to boost the supply's quality and dependability.
4. Metering to cut losses.
1. Rural electrification through the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), Kutir Jyoti Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana, and Minimum Needs Programme.
2. The Deendayal Upadhyay Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), with significant changes to RGGVY, was announced by the Indian government in December 2014.
3. The Electricity Act of 2003 (EA 2003), the National Electricity Policy of 2005, the National Tariff Policy of 2006, and the Rural Electrification Policy of 2006 are a few of the key legislative and policy initiatives supporting rural electrification programs.
1. Distinguishing feeders for agriculture and non-agriculture.
2. Improving the sub-transmission and distribution network in rural areas, including metering distribution transformer feeders and consumers.
3. Electrification of rural areas in accordance with CCEA approval for the achievement of the RGGVY targets.
4. To ensure quick electrification, feeder separation, and infrastructure improvements for rural distribution.
5. For an efficient and quick implementation of electrification, it is essential to closely monitor progress. Engineers for rural electrification known as Grameen Vidyut Abhiyanta (GVAs).
6. The Central Government appointed a number of Grameen Vidyut Abhiyanta (GVAs or rural electrification engineers) from the same areas to transparently monitor the process.
7. The GARV (Grameen Vidyutikaran) app is used to share the reports that these GVAs produce.
8. Both with government representatives and the general public (http://garv.Gov.In).
9. It exerts pressure on State governments to provide services promptly and effectively.
Rural electrification based on grid extensions that was promoted by RGGVY and other programs suffered. Major Challenges include:
1. Extending the grid at a high cost with low recovery due to heavily subsidized tariffs, low tariff collection levels, and negative returns.
2. Rationing of supplies because power is not available.
3. Exorbitant operation and maintenance expenses.
4. Villages are frequently situated in remote or regions where left-wing extremism is a problem.
5. Even lower electrification levels have been observed in a few States, particularly in eastern India.
1. A unified implementation model is required for faster, more dependable, and efficient rural electrification.
2. In this regard, a comprehensive policy framework would be beneficial.
3. In order for rural electrification based on mini-grids to be long-term sustainable, we also need a regulatory framework.
4. Small local consumers who are primarily dependent on agricultural income make up mini grids. These groups are susceptible to financial hardship brought on by disruptions in agricultural operations that reduce income for microgrids. It is necessary to address these practical issues in a priority manner.
5. The above-mentioned transparent monitoring mechanism will be useful in conducting a fair and thorough audit of the program.
6. It is possible to achieve 100% rural electrification by using solar street lights, lighting public spaces for village electrification, and providing lighting at public spaces.
7. It is advisable to use solar-powered lighting for your home.
8. A sustainable business model for rural electrification could be achieved by using mini grids of various sizes that are powered by solar, wind, small hydro, or biomass energy.
9. In order to balance supply and demand in mini grids or distributed generation in remote areas, technology development in hybrid systems for mini grids and energy storage systems is crucial.
10. Another crucial aspect of the process is the development of players' awareness, skills, and quality consciousness.
11. Rural electrification is difficult and complex, but one of the best ways forward is to take an integrated approach that combines renewable energy sources with traditional grid extension strategies and proactive policies to address integration and tariff issues.
