Many types of schemes are being run by the government and through these, benefits are being provided to every needy and poor class. For example, free gas cylinders are being provided to poor women through Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. Due to this, women do not have to cook food on wood and cow dung cakes, which is also helping a lot in saving the environment.
