Bayad: Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani while kicking off the North Gujarat leg of ambitious ‘Kisan Suryoday Yojana’ today said that by the end of the current month, 4,000 villages of Gujarat will be covered under this Yojana and start getting day-time agricultural power supply. Rupani said, all villages of Gujarat will be covered under this Yojana by the end of year 2022 (when Gujarat will go for the general elections of State assembly). Kisan Suryoday Yojana was inaugurated last year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While the first phase covered 1 lakh farmers, the second phase is going to benefit 1.90 lakh farmers. Under the Yojana, the State government is going to install new transmission lines and sub stations at an estimated cost of Rs. 35,000 crore in three-year span. The farmers who get agricultural power in night hours during one of three shifts, will start getting day-time power for all days under this Yojana.
