Which government scheme aims to provide clean cooking fuel, such as LPG, to women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families?
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY)
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is correct.
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched on 1 May 2016 at Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. It provides deposit-free LPG connections to adult women of Below Poverty Line households so that they can switch from firewood, coal and dung cakes to clean cooking fuel.
The scheme aims to safeguard women's health from indoor air pollution and reduce drudgery; Ujjwala 2.0 was launched in August 2021 to extend the coverage.
The National Food Security Act (2013) gives subsidised food grains, Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana deals with rural electrification, and the National Rural Health Mission strengthens rural health services. None of them is about LPG for poor women.
