There used to be only those areas (villages/hamlets) where grid extension is not viable for techno-economic reasons, in the Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG) mode of RGGVY scheme (now DDUGJY) of Rural Electrification in India. However the Government of India has included, in 2013, villages that get less than 6 hrs of electricity in Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG). How to identify those villages? Any public forums available to access such data?
Such information are available with the regional level state electricity boards, for instance karnataka State (India)
You can use RTI to get the data from the respective SEBs - Might take 2-3 months .
I think the RTI might have to be made to Ministry of Power (MoP) because the provision has been made by the MoP, Government of India. Also the DDG/DDUGJY scheme is from the Central government and I suppose it is of concern to MoP. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
