Beyond Lights: The Changing Impact of Rural Electrification in Indian Agriculture
Electricity is deemed essential for development, and yet we remain unclear about the avenues through which electrification impacts household incomes and other economic outcomes. This talk illustrates how specific targets of rural electrification policies have important consequences for household incomes and food security of smallholder farmers in India.
Sudatta Ray is an assistant professor at NUS Geography and with the Environmental Studies at Yale-NUS. Sudatta studies trade-offs across clean energy transition pathways with a focus on distributional impacts, particularly on marginalized communities.
