Additional Details
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) is a flagship scheme of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, designed to facilitate continuous electricity supply to rural households and agricultural consumers. The scheme aims to implement crucial power sector reforms in rural areas by focusing on the separation of agricultural and non-agricultural feeders, strengthening sub-transmission and distribution networks, and implementing metering at all levels. DDUGJY subsumed the earlier Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), retaining its rural electrification goals as a core component.
