All Indian villages now have electricity. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi told reporters that the final village in India had got electricity. It was the remote Leisang village in Manipur state. It was connected to the grid(电网) on Sunday. Electrification(电气化) of India's villages was a big government promise. Mr Modi thanked everyone involved in the project. He said, "April 28th, 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development of India. I am happy that every single village has electricity."
In 2015, Mr Modi promised to give 18,000 villages electricity. In India, a village is electrified when it has basic power lines and 10 percent of its houses and public places (including schools and health centers) have power. While Mr Modi is happy with the progress made, many people say there is a lot more work to be done. The World Bank says 200 million Indians still have no electricity. The India Today found that many villages still lacked(缺乏) electricity. One villager told its reporters, "The darkness creates a big problem for the village as it is frequented by elephants.”
