New Delhi: The government has issued 1.5 crore LPG connections to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) households under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme, the petroleum ministry said on Thursday.
The PMUY is an ambitious social welfare scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 1 2016 from Ballia district in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the official release, the target fixed for the current financial year under the scheme has been achieved within a span of less than eight months. The scheme is now being implemented across the nation.
