Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana: All you need to know about PMUY Scheme

Around 85 lakh cylinders have been delivered to Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) beneficiaries in April under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY). Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is an initiative of the Indian Central Government to help women living Below the Poverty Line. This scheme was launched on May 1, 2016.

PM Ujjwala Scheme is a Central Government funded scheme launched to provide 5 crore LPG connections to BPL families of the country. A budget of 8000 crores was allocated for this scheme by the government. PMUY is currently active and covers 715 districts of the country.

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas informed about the development and said, “During April 2020, Oil Marketing Companies(OMCs) have delivered 453.02 lakh cylinders to PMUY beneficiaries under PMGKP. As of 20.5.20, OMCs have delivered a total of 679.92 (lakh) cylinders to PMUY beneficiaries under the package. The beneficiaries were given funds in advance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in their accounts so that there was no difficulty in availing this facility. The Corona Warriors- personnel working in the supply chain of LPG cylinder delivery- have not only been ensuring timely supply of cylinders, but also creating awareness amongst the beneficiaries about the hygiene and various health guidelines.”
