Where electricity was available in the village for all purposes, the village was categorised as having electricity for any combination of purposes, even if the economic condition of the villagers was so poor that not a single household had actually obtained a connection in order to use electricity for any purpose. But a village in which power supply
had ceased to exist in spite of electricity poles, wirings, etc., being available for the last ten years or so was treated as not having the facility. Thus, to categorise the village as having electricity available for any purpose, only the existing and functional facility was considered.
Villages where electricity could be used only by hooking electricity from the main electric line outside the village were not categorised as having electricity.
Street lighting was considered to be available in a village even if street lights were found only on the boundary of the village or in some particular important positions of the village.
