SAUBHAGYA, a Central Government scheme, is related to

The SAUBHAGYA scheme, officially known as Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana, was launched in September 2017 with the primary objective of achieving universal household electrification in India [3]. The scheme focuses on providing last-mile connectivity and electricity connections to all remaining un-electrified households in rural areas and poor households in urban areas [2]. It was designed to overcome barriers such as the cost of new connections and logistical complexities, offering free connections to economically weaker sections identified via SECC 2011 data [1]. While other schemes like Ujjwala Yojana focus on LPG (cooking gas) and Har Ghar Jal focuses on water supply, SAUBHAGYA specifically targets the energy infrastructure of individual homes to ensure 'light for all' [5]. Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) serves as the nodal agency for its implementation [4].
