Deep in the dense forests of Alluri Sitarama Raju district lies a small tribal hamlet called Gudem — a remote village under Rompalli Panchayat in Ananthagiri mandal, home to just 17 houses. For decades, this village lived in complete darkness, cut off from the comforts of modern life, as it had no access to electricity.
Despite several appeals to authorities over the years, their pleas went unheard — until about five months ago, when the issue reached Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan. Responding swiftly, the Ministry of Power initiated steps to electrify the village under the Non-PVGY scheme.
With an investment of nearly ₹80 lakh, officials laid 10 kilometers of power lines and erected 217 poles, finally bringing electricity to every home in Gudem. To ensure uninterrupted power, solar panels were also installed and linked to a dedicated transformer for backup supply.
The project wasn’t easy — due to the challenging forest terrain, power department staff had to carry poles manually and dig through rocky paths to complete the installation. Yet, in just 15 days, the entire operation was successfully executed.
Adding to this milestone, a hybrid solar and wind power unit worth over ₹10 lakh was also set up in the village under the PM Janman scheme, ensuring Gudem’s energy independence and marking a new dawn for its residents — a symbol of progress, perseverance, and hope in the heart of the forest.
