About This Dataset
The dataset contains electrification metrics for towns and villages across 36 Indian states and union territories. It includes the total number of towns and villages, the number electrified, and the percentage electrified. The dataset enables comparison of electrification progress across different regions and highlights disparities in rural and urban electricity access.
Data Quality
The dataset is complete with no missing values. Numeric fields are consistently formatted and clearly distinguish totals, electrified counts, and percentages. Minor naming inconsistencies in geographic labels may exist due to spelling variations.
Use Cases
Energy infrastructure analysis, rural electrification policy evaluation, infrastructure planning, academic research on energy access, and government performance monitoring.
Limitations
The dataset provides aggregated statistics only and does not include district-level or village-level detail. It also lacks time-series data, preventing trend analysis over multiple years.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from administrative records of electrification projects and state-level electricity distribution agencies, aggregated into state-level totals and percentages.
