Explanation

The Rural Electrification Policy was notified by the Government of India in August 2006 under the provisions of the Electricity Act 2003. The primary objective of this policy was to ensure that all households in the country were provided with access to electricity by the year 2009. This goal was aligned with the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana which aimed at creating rural electricity infrastructure and completing household electrification within that specific timeframe. Therefore, 2009 is the correct year.
