LPG Cylinder: As the BJP did not get full majority at the centre, the NDA government is taking decisions very carefully. The government is making sure that the poor people are not alienated. Let's see the latest decision taken in this order.

Recently, along with the reduction in the price of 19 kg LPG cylinder, it has been learned that the central government will continue the already Rs.300 subsidy (reduction) on 14.2 kg LPG cylinder for another 9 months. It is also informed that the price of 5 kg cylinder will also take favorable decisions. The central government has decided to give a subsidy of Rs.300 per cylinder till 31 March 2025 under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. After that, a decision will be taken next year whether to continue the subsidy or not.

In the financial year 2024-25, the central government will have to spend Rs.12,000 crores to provide a subsidy of Rs.300 per LPG cylinder. This subsidy will be directly credited in the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. Generally this subsidy is applicable for 12 cylinders per year per family. Therefore, there is no need to stress whether this subsidy will be lifted now. As if there is no problem till March 31, 2025.

In May 2016, the central government launched the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana. Thus, in the villages, the poor have access to quality cooking in their homes. Gas stoves have replaced the wood stoves that were there before. The homes of the poor are filled with joy. Through this scheme, the center is giving free cylinder and gas stove to poor women.
