Electricity was introduced in urban areas before rural areas as there is more population in urban areas. This would mean that there is therefore more demand. Also, in rural areas, it can be harder and less cost effective to provide electricity as it may be just a small cluster of houses.

Did the rural electification provide electricity to the rural areas?

Rural electrification is, by definition, the bringing of electricity to rural areas. Of course, not all rural areas are brought onto the grid at the same time, because such programs are staggered to avoid overloading the grid and causing blackouts. Other areas are just hard to electrify because of their physical characteristics, and require substantial work to install the equipment necessary to electrify them.

What are the sources of energy in rural areas?

If the rural areas are connected to the electricity grid, then the energy source is the same as the cities. It is probably a power plant which makes electricity by burning coal or oil. Some places have hydro-electric power, or a mix with some solar and wind power. If the rural areas have no on-line electricity, they can generate their own electricity with generators burning diesel oil. Or they can have gas or oil delivered and stored in tanks. In some parts of the world the only energy in rural areas would be from cooking stoves burning firewood or animal dung.
