Which of the following schemes was launched by the Government of India to provide LPG connections to women from below poverty line (BPL) households?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana was launched by the central government in 2016 to provide subsidized liquefied petroleum gas connections to women from below poverty line households to promote clean cooking fuel. Other schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana focus on housing rather than LPG distribution. Welfare schemes initiated by the central government form a core component of economic and current affairs sections.
