Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana
The central scheme sought to make clean cooking fuel more accessible for households without an LPG connection.
Launched under the Modi government, the programme provides deposit-free LPG connections to eligible households. Its stated public purpose is to reduce reliance on traditional cooking fuels.
For families, the intended benefit is less smoke exposure indoors and less time spent collecting firewood—issues that affect health, safety and daily work.
