Correct Answer: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana
Solution : The correct answer is (c) Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana
The Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) is a scheme launched by the Government of India with the objective of providing electricity to all rural households and ensuring 24x7 power supply to rural areas across the country.
The scheme focuses on strengthening and upgrading the electricity distribution infrastructure in rural areas, including feeder separation, system strengthening, metering, and rural electrification. It aims to provide electricity access to all unelectrified villages, as well as to households that are still without electricity connections in already electrified villages.
Through this scheme, the government aims to improve the socio-economic condition of rural communities by providing them with reliable and affordable electricity access, which in turn supports various developmental activities, enhances livelihood opportunities, and improves the overall quality of life in rural areas.
