The government has said that it's on track to meet its official March 31 target to electrify every home. It added that a December 31 deadline promoted publicly by the Power Ministry was only an "internal target". As of December 31, about 10.48 lakh households were left to be electrified in four states - Assam, Rajasthan, Meghalaya and Chhattisgarh. In April, the government launched the initiative - “Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana,” which translates to Prime Minister’s Power Plan for Every Home - “to achieve universal household electrification in the country by Dec. 31, 2018.”
