However, these villages are not considered properly electrified until further solutions are implemented (Ministry of New and Renewable Energies, 2007). However, the vast majority, 95%, of remote census villages taken up for electrification under the programme are provided with SPV home lighting systems. Such complaints have been taken up by some political parties which have been exerting pressure for grid power to reach their constituents, as opposed to stand-alone systems. As a consequence, the list of villages to be electrified under the Remote Village Electrification (RVE) scheme is being shortened each year.
