All Indian villages now have access to power supply

印度终于实现所有乡村全部通电

NEW DELHI: Manipur's Leisang village became the last non-electrified inhabited village to join India's mainline supply network at 5.30pm on Saturday, an important milestone in the country's journey towards universal electricity access.

新德里：周六下午5点30分，曼尼普尔邦的雷桑村成为最后一个加入印度主电网的未通电居民村庄，这是该国迈向电力普及的重要里程碑。

This means that all 597,464 inhabited villages in the country now have access to power, fulfilling a promise the PM had made on August 15, 2015, when he announced that all unelectrified villages would get power over the next 1,000 days.

这意味着，现在全印范围内所有的597464个居民村庄都已通电，这实现了印度总理在2015年8月15日宣布的将在1000天内帮所有未通电村庄获得电力的诺言。

The last inhabited village to be powered through the off-grid system — isolated supply networks, mostly with solar power plants — was Pakol, also in Manipur.

这个居民村庄是通过离网系统供电的——独立供应电网，主要由太阳能发电厂组成——也位于曼尼普尔邦。

While basic infrastructure such as distribution transformer and lines need to be set up in inhabited localities, including Dalit hamlets, a village is considered electrified if 10 per cent of its households and public places such as schools, panchayat office and health centre have access to electricity.

虽然还需要在包括达利特村落在内的居民村庄建立像配电变压器和线路这样的基础设施，但如果有10%的家庭和学校、村委会办公室和卫生院之类的公共场所已通电，那么这个村庄就算实现了电气化。

Having fulfilled that promise, the PM took to Twitter in a big way. "28th April 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development journey of India. Yesterday, we fulfilled a commitment due to which the lives of several Indians will be transformed forever. I am delighted that every single village of India now has access to electricity," he said in a series of tweets.

在履行承诺后，总理在推特上大做文章。他在推特上说，“2018年4月28日将成为印度发展征程上历史性的一天。昨天，我们履行了承诺，一些印度人的生活将永远改变。我很高兴印度的每一个村庄都能用上电。”

At the time of Modi's announcement in August 2015, data showed 18,452 villages without power. When work on village electrification started, another 1,275 villages were found to be without access to electricity. Some 1,200 villages are uninhabited and 35 were notified as grazing reserves.

莫迪在2015年8月宣誓时，统计数据显示全印仍有18,452个村庄没有通电。当乡村电气化工作开始的时候，又统计出有1275个村庄没有电力供应。约有1200个村庄无人居住，35个村庄被宣布为放牧储备村庄。

While villages have the power infrastructure, it is now up to households to seek a connection and for state governments to ensure supply. "Village electrification and household electrification are different things. It is up to the people to seek a connection," added R V Shahi, another former power secretary.

虽然村庄已拥有电力基础设施，现在开始着手电力入户，各邦政府负责保障电力供应。“乡村电气化和电力入户是不一样的。现在要看村民是否愿意给家里通电。”另一位前电力部长RV萨希补充道。

After electrifying all villages, the real challenge now is to feed power to each household in those — indeed, all — villages, a task being undertaken through the Saubhagya scheme.

在给所有村庄通电之后，现在面临的真正挑战是将电力连接入那些村庄—实际上，所有村庄—的每个家庭，这也是该计划的任务。

Data on the official website for the scheme showed that in mid-October 2017, of 18 crore rural households, around 82 per cent or 14.8 crore were electrified. But there was wide variation across states, with those such as Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh showing 100 per cent coverage, while only 55 per cent of the households in Uttar Pradesh and 48 per cent in Jharkhand were electrified.

该计划官方网站的数据显示，2017年10月中旬，已有1.8亿个农村家庭，大约占到所有农场家庭的82%实现了电气化。但是，不同的邦之间差异很大，如泰米尔纳德邦和安得拉邦，电力覆盖率达到了100%，而在北方邦，这个比例是55%，在贾坎德邦，这个比例为48%。

Great Work .Modi well Appreciated .19000 villages electrified in 4 years ! almost 5000 Villages a year.
we have 649000 Villages in India . 630000 Electrified before 2014 in 66 years .8000 villages a year ! Rest I leave to Readers .

太棒了。莫迪值得表扬。19000个村庄在4年内都实现了电气化！换算下来就是一年5000个村庄。

我们印度一共有64.9万个村庄，2014年前我们用了66年为63万个村庄实现了电气化，那就是一年8000个村庄。剩下的不说了你们自己想。

Modi did in 4 years what Congress couldnt do in 65 years. Modi should be voted to power with full majority just for this one reason!!

莫迪在4年间完成了国大党用65年也没完成的工作。就为了这个，莫迪也应该获得全票通过大选。
