Because of the lack of political will as well as multi-institutional involvement and inadequate financial resources for the establishment of basic transmission and distribution infrastructure in rural areas, resources were too scarce to allow for the complete implementation of the RGGVY scheme during the 10th Plan. Some state governments have been slow in awarding contracts owing to their lack of preparedness for implementing projects on a turnkey basis, others have been slow in acquiring land for the 33/11 kV sub-stations, others in providing authenticated lists of BPL households (in some states the number of BPL households turned out to be greater than foreseen), and still others in providing necessary forestry clearance. Sometimes, there was no monitoring because state-level committee meetings had not been convened.
