ABOUT YOJNA (SCHEME): In May 2016, the Indian government started a major program called ‘Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana’ (PMUY). The main goal was to give clean cooking gas (LPG) to poor families and people living in villages.

Before this, these families had to use wood, coal, or dried cow dung for cooking. This was bad because the smoke from these fuels harmed the health of women and also damaged the environment.

The program was officially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 1, 2016, in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh.

BENEFIT OF THIS SCHEME(YOJNA):

Cash assistance for PMUY connections is provided by Government of India – Rs. 1300 (for a connection 14.2kg cylinder/ Rs.1300 for a 5 kg cylinder/950). The cash assistance covers.

• Security Deposit of Cylinder – Rs. 1700 for 14.2 kg cylinder/ Rs. 950 for 5 kg cylinder
• Pressure Regulator – Rs. 150
• LPG Hose – Rs. 100
• Domestic Gas Consumer Card – Rs. 25
• Inspection/ Installation/ Demonstration charges – Rs. 75
