Saubhagya Scheme Guidelines PDF Download

The Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana – Saubhagya is a major government initiative designed to provide electricity connections to every home in India, especially those still without power. This Saubhagya Scheme focuses on delivering electrification to all remaining un-electrified households in both rural and urban areas, ensuring universal access to electricity across the country.

What is the Saubhagya Scheme?

Under this scheme, electricity connection means installing a service cable from the nearest electricity pole to the household. It also includes fitting an energy meter, wiring for a single light point with an LED bulb, and a mobile charging point. If there is no nearby electric pole, the scheme covers the cost of installing an additional pole with all necessary wiring and accessories.

Launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at Deendayal Urja Bhawan, New Delhi, on September 25, 2017, the Saubhagya Scheme has a total budget of Rs. 16,320 crores. Out of this, Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) accounts for Rs. 12,320 crores. For rural areas, the budget is Rs. 14,025 crores with GBS of Rs. 10,587.50 crores, while urban areas have a budget of Rs. 2,295 crores with GBS of Rs. 1,732.50 crores. The Government of India allocates these funds to all States and Union Territories.

All States and UTs were expected to complete the electrification work by December 31, 2018.
