A remote village in Chhattisgarh's Abujhmad region has finally got electricity after decades without power supply and other basic facilities.
Residents of Irpanar village lit up their homes for the first time on Friday, describing the moment as historic and thanking the administration and the electricity department for their efforts.
The electricity will enable children to study at night, provide access to basic facilities like mobile charging, and ease daily life with the availability of fans, lights, and small appliances.
Around 10 families will benefit from the electrification, which was done at a cost of ₹56.11 lakh in the village, located deep inside the forested and hilly terrain of Narayanpur district.
The electricity supply in remote villages has reduced fear and isolation, improved living standards, and accelerated development in the Bastar region, signalling a safer and more prosperous future.
The state government's 'Niyad Nella Nar' scheme aimed at delivering basic amenities to remote and sensitive areas of the Bastar region has made it possible.
