The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) is one of the most impactful welfare schemes launched by the Government of India. Introduced in 2016 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the scheme focuses on providing clean cooking fuel to women belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) households. Its core objective is not just distribution of LPG connections, but improving health, reducing indoor pollution and empowering women across rural and semi-urban India.
