The Rajasthan Energy Development Agency (REDA) has created an all-time record by installing 9,900 solar photovoltaic lighting systems in the state during the financial year 2000-2001. These lights have been installed under the rural electrification programme and have covered all the districts of the state. This achievement has placed the state on top of the list of states running a similar programme. This is also 260 per cent of the previous year's achievement of 3,800 installations of lighting systems.
