In order to ensure that no un-electrified household is left in the States which have already achieved 100% household electrification, they have been requested to take up the campaign to publicise the achievement all across the areas. For creating healthy competition amongst various power departments of States and distribution companies (DISCOMs), an award scheme has been instituted with awards of more than ₹300 crore to be won by States/Discoms.
