Perched on Killa Hill, Tobakla, a remote tribal hamlet in Tripura's South district, now shines in the dark with a non-conventional solar power plant supplying energy under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vaidyutikaran Yojana. A septuagenarian, Bikram Singh Jamatiya is a delighted man today. "My village is remote which can be approached only on foot. We lived in darkness at night. Now it is different,' he told a group of visiting journalists. "Earlier, we saw electric lights only when we went to Udaipur, the district town, which is about 25 km from the village,' he said.
