Due to these efforts of Modi government, the price of domestic LPG cylinder for general consumers in the country’s capital Delhi has become Rs 903. Under Ujjwala, beneficiaries are getting the cylinder in Delhi at the price of Rs 603.

Shivraj Singh Chauhan’s government of Madhya Pradesh had announced to provide gas cylinders to the women of the state for Rs 450 in the month of August itself. However, women will have to pay the full price while taking the cylinder from the gas agency but after that the government will give subsidy.

Who will benefit?
All beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will be eligible for this. Whereas in case of non-Ujjwala scheme, eligible women of Ladli Brahmin scheme will get this benefit. However, it is important that the connection is in the woman’s name. Women falling under this scope will have to register on the portal of Ladli Brahmin Yojana. Let us tell you that the Madhya Pradesh government had started the Laadli Brahmin Yojana with the aim of improving the economic self-reliance of women, their health, nutritional level and strengthening their role in family decisions.
