PM Surya Ghar Yojana falters with only 12 beneficiaries against a target of 10,000
-
Darkness rules hundreds of villages in Kandhamal district once the daylight fades as electricity still eludes remote, hilly and forested pockets, forcing the residents to stay indoors when fear of wild animals and other hazards loom large.
Essential activities like mobile connectivity and online services come to a grinding halt, thanks to lack of electricity. Of the 2,599 villages across 171 gram panchayats in the district, as many as 342 villages remain unelectrified. Lack of enough power grids in the district is stated to be the reason behind lack of power connection.
