Under The Scheme, The Government Provides A Subsidy Of ￡1,600 To State-Owned Fuel Retailers For Every Free LPG Gas Connection That They Install In Poor Rural Households

摘要

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan handed over papers for an LPG connection under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana-which was launched on May 2016 with a target to give 50 million connections by March 2019--to a Muslim lady Takrdiran who is a resident of Sangam Vihar of the national capital. Speaking on the occasion, Mahajan said the scheme has not just saved eyes and money of the poor women but also their"honour"as they would now not be required to venture into forests to collect firewood.
