Through the UJALA programme the estimated cumulative cost reduction of bills of consumers annually is Rs 7990 crores
The distribution of 2 crore LED bulbs has led to an annual energy savings of 259 crore kWh which is equivalent to lighting up 5 lakh Indian homes for an entire year. Alongside the savings in units, the state has also benefitted from daily CO2 emission reduction of 5,000 tonnes.The programme has also helped the state to avoid 520MW of peak demand.

उत्तर प्रदेश के हाथरस जिले में 25 विद्युतीकृत गांवों में से 20 गांव अभी भी बिजली से वंचित हैं। केन्द्र सरकार द्वारा क्षेत्र सर्वेक्षण से यह पता चला है कि उत्तर प्रदेश बिजली विभाग ने इन गांवों में परिवारों को अभी भी कनेक्शन जारी नही किये हैं।
घरों को बिजली की आपूर्ति पर केंद्र और राज्यों की भूमिका पर सही जानकारी का अभाव देश के लोगों के बीच ग्रामीण विद्युतीकरण के मुद्दे पर भ्रम की स्थिति पैदा कर रहा है।
जब कोई भी जानकारी हमारे देश की नियमावली ( भारत का संविधान ) की बुनियादी समझ के बिना प्रचारित की जाती है तो वह अराजकता की स्थिति उत्पन्न कर सकती है।
