The Government of India runs many schemes for the citizens of the country. Which benefits crores of people in the country. At one time in India, food was cooked on earthen stoves in almost all the houses. But now gas cylinders are used in almost all the houses. Cooking food is very easy with the use of gas cylinders.
With this, food is cooked very quickly. To promote the use of gas cylinders in the country, the Government of India runs the Ujjwala Yojana. Crores of women in India benefit from this scheme. Now the Government of India will give two free cylinders instead of one to the women of this state of the country under the Ujjwala Yojana. Let us know which state's women can get its benefit.
Women of Jammu and Kashmir will get 2 free cylinders.
Assembly elections are going to be held in Jammu and Kashmir. For which the BJP has recently released its manifesto. In which the Bharatiya Janata Party has made a big announcement for the women of Jammu and Kashmir. BJP has said in its manifesto that if BJP comes to power in Jammu and Kashmir, then women of the state will be given two cylinders free under the Ujjwala scheme.
Let us tell you that at present only one cylinder is given for free under the Ujjwala scheme. If BJP gets a majority in the elections and BJP forms its government in Jammu and Kashmir, then the women of Jammu and Kashmir will benefit a lot. Women of the state will get double benefits under the Ujjwala scheme.
More than 10 crore beneficiaries
The Government of India started the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana in the year 2016. Under this scheme, women belonging to poor families are given free gas connections. In which they are given gas stoves and cylinders. So, under this scheme, a subsidy is also given for getting the cylinder refilled. At present, if we talk about the whole country, more than 10 crore women have availed the benefits of Ujjwala Yojana so far. And this figure is increasing year after year.
