Having successfully achieved 46 per cent of the electrification target in the Agra zone, Reliance Energy Ltd has accomplished a major feat.
At a time when the entire state of Uttar Pradesh is having to cope up with the worst power crisis in the recent years, Reliance Energy Ltd, one of the flagship companies of the Anil Ambani-controlled share in the Reliance dynasty, has taken up the gigantic task of electrifying 7,220 UP villages as a part of the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Project.
The company has already achieved 100 per cent electrification target in 2,200 villages and hopes to complete the remaining work much ahead of the schedule.
According to sources in the Reliance industry, the company is participating in rural electrification of the state as a part of its commitment to improve the quality of life of the people of Uttar Pradesh.
The sources said Reliance is committed to carry out rural electrification of 18 districts in the state. The company has been working since August 2005 on the project, which targeted the electrification of 7,220 villages of the state and covered about 97,000 below poverty line (BPL) families of these villages.
