[amp_mcq option1=”Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana” option2=”Mahila Ujjwala Yojana” option3=”Domestic Free Gas Project” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is A. Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).<\/p>\n
The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is a government-run scheme that provides free LPG gas connections to women from poor households. The scheme was launched in May 2016 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n
The objective of the PMUY is to provide clean cooking fuel to poor households and reduce the use of firewood and other polluting fuels. The scheme also aims to empower women by giving them access to clean cooking fuel.<\/p>\n
Under the PMUY, eligible women are provided with a free LPG gas connection, a gas stove, and a cylinder of LPG gas. The government also provides a subsidy on the cost of LPG refills.<\/p>\n
The PMUY has been a very successful scheme. As of December 2019, over 8 crore LPG gas connections have been provided to women under the scheme. The scheme has helped to improve the health and well-being of women and children, and has also reduced the environmental impact of cooking with firewood.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect.<\/p>\n
