Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyuitikaran Yojana Government of India (GOI) introduced (March 2005) Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana with the objective of providing access to electricity to all Rural Households and improving the rural electricity infrastructure. 90 per cent of the overall cost of the projects was to be provided by GOI as capital subsidy. The balance project cost was to be met by the Governments of respective States through loan from Rural Electrification Corporation Limited.
