This week in India Loud & Clear we travel to literally the dark places of our country.
At a time when we are the 7th largest economy in the world, many Indians are still deprived of a simple thing like electricity. Despite Prime Minister Modi's claim that India is fully electrified. Our community correspondents show Modi's 100% claim is far from the truth. In the studio anchor, Grace talks to #BattiGul campaign leader Raj Kumar who was successfully mobilizing Indians to send reports from their unelectrified villages and cities.
