Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) aims to

safeguard the health of women & children by providing
them with a clean cooking fuel – LPG, so that they don’t
have to compromise their health in smoky kitchens or
wander in unsafe areas collecting rewood. Under this
scheme, LPG connections will be provided to BPL
families with a support of Rs.1600 per connection. The
connection is provided in the name of the adult women
of the family. Further, an option is provided to provide a
loan at zero interest to bear the cost of the cooking
stove and rst re ll which has to be paid by the
bene ciary.
Some of the signi cant achievements of the scheme
are:
7 crore LPG connections have been distributed
over a span of 34 months. This comes down to around
nearly 69 thousand connections are being released
per day.

82 per cent PMUY bene ciaries are going for

re lling their cylinder and average re lling is about
6.5 cylinders per bene ciary.

About 42 per cent of the total bene ciaries belong

to the SCs and STs.

World Health Organisation (WHO) has

acknowledged the PMUY as ne of decisive
interventions by the Indian government to address
the indoor air pollution which accounts for nearly 10
lakh (1 million) deaths every year across India.
Intitailly the bene ciaries under the scheme were
identi ed through socio economic caste census, now all
the poor of the country are now eligible to get PMUY
connection. Further to give a llip to the scheme 6800
new distributorships were given to strengthen rural
LPG supply chain.
