At a time when the World Bank declared that India had the world's biggest un-electrified population, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to deliver dependable power to all pushed him into government in 2014. An assessment conducted a year after his victory revealed that 18,452 villages lacked power, and he vowed that every village would be connected within 1,000 days. It had been 988 days since that promise when Leisang, a little hamlet in the remote northeastern state of Manipur, was linked to the grid on April 28. Modi said it will be "remembered as a landmark day in India's growth journey."
