New Delhi : India’s power ministry proposes to install about 25 million LED (light emitting diode) bulbs over the next 3-4 years to electrify Below Poverty Line (BPL) households.
According to an official statement here Friday, this initiative under the government’s Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) – the rural electrification programme – is to promote LED bulbs under the Super Efficient Equipment Program (SEEP) in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-16).
