households belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) under Pradhan Mantri Anusuchit Jaati
Abhyuday Yojana (PM-AJAY) and households in remote & border areas under Vibrant
Villages Program (VVP), wherever found feasible. This includes Rs 45 crore sanctioned for
electrification of 6,903 households in the State of Karnataka. Out of the above, a total of
3.42 lakh households have been electrified till date. The sunset date for the scheme is 31st
