In a bid to cover all those left out of the Union government's ambitious Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), the Maharashtra government's cabinet led by Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis approved a new scheme to provide subsidy on LPG connections on the lines of PMUY, reports Times of India.
The state government will be releasing Rs 3,846 per such connection meant for poor families who have been left out of the PMUY's reach. This would help the government create a 'smoke-free' Maharashtra.
Also, the LPG connection will be provided in the name of a woman in the family as they are the most affected. Also, the scheme will first be implemented in 14 districts which have been most affected by farmer suicides.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
