For most of these villages, the data contains the corresponding electrification rate as reported by the Garv data platform from the Indian government as of July 2017. This dataset contains satellite imagery, political boundaries, lights at night imagery, rainfall measurements, and vegetation indices data for 45,220 villages and the electrification rate data for 32,817 of those villages. This dataset may be of particular interest to those investigating how electricity access maps to infrastructure and agricultural production.
