Saubhagya Scheme Guidelines PDF Download

The Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana – Saubhagya aims to ensure that every household in India has access to electricity. This scheme focuses on providing electricity connections to all remaining un-electrified homes in both rural and urban areas, promoting universal household electrification across the country.

Understanding the Saubhagya Scheme

The electricity connection to households includes installing a service cable from the nearest pole to the household, setting up an energy meter, and providing wiring for a single light point with an LED bulb, along with a mobile charging point. If no electricity pole is nearby, the scheme covers the cost of erecting an additional pole along with its wiring and accessories.

This important initiative was launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at Deendayal Urja Bhawan in New Delhi on September 25, 2017.

The total budget for the project is Rs. 16,320 crores, with a Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) of Rs. 12,320 crores. For rural households, the budget is Rs. 14,025 crores with a GBS of Rs. 10,587.50 crores. For urban areas, the budget is Rs. 2,295 crores with a GBS of Rs. 1,732.50 crores. The Government of India provides significant funds for this scheme to all States and Union Territories.

All States and Union Territories are required to finish the electrification works by December 31, 2018.
