N2  - In this research study , impacts of the electrification of  rural areas were studied using cost-benefit analysis. A  systematic method for assessing the financial and economic  impacts of costs and benefits of rural electrification and to  find the sensitivity of the project resulting from changes in  important parameters were formulated.  This approach was applied to a typical rural area which was  proposed for electrification. It was revealed that if only  domestic and commercial consumers of the rural area are to us e  electricity , the project is financially unattractive and  economically infeasible. But if other productive uses of the  electricity develops in the area, then the project becomes  feasible from both financial and economical point of view.  However, standard cost-benefit analysis procedure cannot  assess all the costs and benefits of rural electrification  because it also induces multiplier effects and externalities.  An alternative method of appraising costs and benefits of rural  electrification using input output tables is also proposed
