Bemni sits beneath the peaks of Nanda Devi and Trishul at an elevation of 9,000 feet (2,700 m). As of 2003, Bemni had no paved road into town. People had to walk uphill to reach the isolated village. There was no electricity or telecommunication infrastructure, and schooling stopped at grade five. This situation was addressed in recent years with the building of a road and new schools; and the installation of electricity and telecommunication towers. [2] The major crops in the area are pulses, barley, wheat, and hay. The fields in which these crops are grown are carved out of the mountainside, using cattle pulling wooden ploughs, and then harvested by hand with the use of sickles.[ citation needed ]
Rural electrification is the process of bringing electrical power to rural and remote areas. Rural communities are suffering from colossal market failures as the national grids fall short of their demand for electricity. As of 2019, 770 million people live without access to electricity – 10.2% of the global population. Electrification typically begins in cities and towns and gradually extends to rural areas, however, this process often runs into obstacles in developing nations. Expanding the national grid is expensive and countries consistently lack the capital to grow their current infrastructure. Additionally, amortizing capital costs to reduce the unit cost of each hook-up is harder to do in lightly populated areas. If countries are able to overcome these obstacles and reach nationwide electrification, rural communities will be able to reap considerable amounts of economic and social development.
