Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana
Launched in May 2016, the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) stands as a pivotal social welfare initiative by the government. Its primary goal is to offer clean cooking fuel access to economically disadvantaged women, particularly those dwelling below the poverty threshold.
The Ujjwala Yojana’s core objective revolves around replacing traditional cooking techniques reliant on solid fuels such as wood, coal, and biomass with the safer and cleaner option of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).IT
