In April 2018, the Government of India made an announcement that India has achieved 100% electrification. While the announcement and achievement are significant, it was largely symbolic and not substantive in nature as electrification of villages i.e. putting the wires on the poles and the poles in the ground, does not translate into electrification of households and is certainly no guarantee for power availability.
The challenge
How do we work with the government to help improve reliability and consistency of electricity supply to households without making them feel like they were being called out for not doing enough?
