PM-JANMAN: Tribal hamlet gets power supply for first time

A tribal hamlet in Karnataka's Mysuru has received electricity supply for the first time, thanks to the PM-JANMAN scheme which aims to provide basic facilities to particularly vulnerable tribal groups (PVTGs) in the country.

Situated on the fringes of the Hediyala range of the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, the hamlet was recently connected to the power grid of Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC), the Tribal Affairs Ministry said on March 8.

While nearby villages had power connections, a portion of the tribal hamlet remained without electricity. It took 75 years to provide power supply, according to the ministry's statement.
