Electricity plays a vital role in the development of agriculture sector as well as rural economy. It is one of the basic infrastructure facilities necessary for changing rural life. Electricity plays an essential role in the shifting cropping pattern and increasing agricultural production and productivity. Electrification has helped in changing the agrarian economy in a significant manner. Electricity brings about a change in cropping pattern also. Farmers can shift crops from low value to high value, which in turn helps to increase in the level of output and income also. Generally, development of a country depends upon rural development and it mostly depends on agricultural development. In recent year, modern agriculture requires electric power to make use of modern technology. In most of the cases for the purpose of irrigation, electric pumps are being used, instead of manpower, animal power and diesel engine. Therefore, electricity is more convenient as compared to the other sources. Use of electricity leads to expansion of irrigated area and ultimately it leads to more output and more employment opportunities. The use of electricity brings about changes in entertainment facilities like radio, television, which are quite effective media for educating masses.
