India ‘Shining’ Brightly, Shows ISRO Report:

Did the electrification of nearly three crore households in India since 2017, under the Saubhagya scheme, and the construction of almost 50,000 km of national highways since 2014 contribute to the increase of 43% in Night Time Lights (NTL) in India over the past decade?
Two senior government officials told News18 that these could have been major factors with electricity, and specifically LED bulbs under the Ujala scheme, reaching every household, and the lit-up national and state highways contributing to India shining bright in the luminosity data analyzed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
The data is often considered an indicator of the growing economic activity and for assessment of developmental patterns which can be co-related with infrastructure development, says the ISRO report on the decadal-trend analysis carried out by the Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC).
