REC Limited is a Central Public Sector Enterprise and a premier institution supporting the power sector development across India. It is also the nodal agency for Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY), which is an integrated scheme covering all aspects of rural power distribution. The scheme is aimed at transforming the lifestyle of villagers and bringing in overall socio-economic development in rural areas.
More than 350 Gram Vidyut Abhiyantas (GVA) have been deployed to monitor the progress of village electrification. The GVAs update field photographs, data and other information in the GARV Mobile App (garv.gov.in), which has been developed for ensuring transparency and accountability.
REC Foundation, the CSR arm of REC Limited, signed a memorandum to extend a support of Rs. 1 crore for the project ‘Development of model schools’. As part of the project, REC will identify 20 government schools in Ghaziabad and provide furniture, projector, smartboards, sound system, solar light panel and RO water purifier.
