  • Abstract
    Grid electrification has been the predominant mode for electrification covering almost 94.5% of the inhabited area in India. However, renewable energy based off-grid technologies have also been disseminated extensively in the country. This paper attempts to capture the development of off-grid rural electrification through renewable energy in India and analyses the experiences and lessons, which can contribute for the better program designing and policy making.
