विस्तृत सारांश
Overview
The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is a centrally sponsored scheme launched by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to provide clean cooking fuel (LPG) to women belonging to below‑poverty‑line (BPL) households. The scheme aims to safeguard health by reducing dependence on traditional biomass fuels.
Implementation
Under PMUY, an eligible adult woman receives a deposit‑free LPG connection, including the first refill cylinder and a stove, fully funded by the government. The connection is issued in the name of the woman beneficiary. Refill subsidies are transferred directly to the linked bank account via DBT.
Funding and Coverage
Financial assistance is provided through the LPG subsidy pool. As of the latest update, over 9 crore connections have been released across all states and union territories. The scheme remains open for new applications from eligible households.
