All Indian villages now have electricity. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi told reporters that the final village in India had got electricity. It was the remote Leisang village in Manipur state. It was connected to the grid(电网) on Sunday. Electrification(电气化) of India's villages was a big government promise. Mr Modi thanked everyone involved in the project. He said, "April 28th, 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development of India. I am happy that every single village has electricity."
所有印度村庄现在都有电。印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪告诉记者,印度的最后一个村庄通电了。它位于曼尼普尔邦的雷桑村。它是周日连接到电网。印度村庄的电气化是政府的一大承诺。莫迪先生感谢所有参与该项目的人。他说:“2018年4月28日将被视为印度发展的历史性日子。我很高兴每个村庄都有电。”
In 2015, Mr Modi promised to give 18,000 villages electricity. In India, a village is electrified when it has basic power lines and 10 percent of its houses and public places (including schools and health centers) have power. While Mr Modi is happy with the progress made, many people say there is a lot more work to be done. The World Bank says 200 million Indians still have no electricity. The India Today found that many villages still lacked(缺乏) electricity. One villager told its reporters, "The darkness creates a big problem for the village as it is frequented by elephants.”
在2015年,莫迪先生承诺给1.8万个村庄供电。在印度,一个村庄只要有基本电力基础设施、10%的家庭有电,并且包括学校、地方政府办公室及卫生中心等公共场所有电可用,就可以算做是连上电网。尽管莫迪对取得的进展感到满意,但许多人表示,还有许多工作要做。世界银行称2亿印度人仍然没有电。《今日印度》发现,许多村庄仍然缺电。一位村民告诉记者:“黑暗给村子带来了一个大问题,因为村庄经常会被大象光顾。”
