The Ujjwala scheme launched with the objective of the need of PMUY country and the life of poor women is easy, has become a special identity of the country today. The name of this scheme is Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY). Its purpose was not just providing a gas cylinder, but women were to give them a clean, safe and respectable life by taking them out of the smoke -filled kitchen. Even today in villages and towns, there are many families who cook with wood, cow dung or coal. This not only affects the health of women, but also adversely affects the environment. The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana took the initiative to change the situation. Under this scheme, the government has made arrangements to provide free LPG connections, gas cylinders and stove to women living below the poverty line.
This is the purpose of the government
PMUY: According to the intention of the government, the protection of women’s health and facilities in their lives. When women are less in contact with smoke, they get relief from respiratory diseases, eye irritation and many other problems. Along with this, the time that was bad for pickering wood and burning fire in the stove is now left and women can use that time in children’s education or small employment.

According to the new rule, the Ujjwala scheme is especially for women whose names are included in the BPL (below the poverty line) set by the government. Apart from this, the age of a woman who takes profit should be more than 18 years, she should have Aadhaar card, ration card, bank account and other necessary documents. It is also necessary to have a woman’s bank account to Aadhaar.
It is necessary to have separate ration cards
To take advantage of the scheme under the new rules, two women of the same family can get gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme? The PMUY government has issued clear guidelines on this. On the other hand, if a gas connection has already been taken in a family by taking advantage of Ujjwala scheme, then this benefit will not be given to another woman in the same family. However, if two women of the same family are living in different houses, they have separate ration cards and separate family identity numbers, then they can be qualified for the scheme. ,
First cylinder refill and gas stove also free
