“…. in the last four years, we have added more than 2 million homes to the electricity grid. Our streets have been made safer by the street-lighting programme. Our efforts have ensured that 23,000 primary schools across the country have electricity. …60,000 public facilities – just under 70 per cent of the total, most in rural areas – are connected to electricity.
