April 28 would be remembered as a historic day as every single village of India had access to electricity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday.
In a series of tweets, Modi made the announcement, naming Leisang, a village in central Manipur's Senapati district, as the last one to receive electricity on Saturday.

28th April 2018 will be remembered as a historic day in the development journey of India. Yesterday, we fulfilled a commitment due to which the lives of several Indians will be transformed forever! I am delighted that every single village of India now has access to electricity.
