The Pioneer, Sept 22, 2009

Bhawanipatna: Under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY), free electricity connections would be provided to 2.16 lakh families in all villages by March, 2010, said Kalahandi MP Bhakta Das on Saturday while inaugurating the first phase of power supply in the village of Bakatpur and Mohanguda under Lanjigarh block. Das said that despite Vedanta’s establishment in Lanjigarh block, the villages are undeveloped in every field, like education, health and roads. People of this block died of diarrhoea. The villagers hoped that power supply would help their children’s education.
