There was a time when food was cooked in the kitchen of the house on mud stoves using wood. But now times have changed. Now gas stoves are being used in almost every house. Even in rural areas, gas stoves are being used in many houses. This also makes cooking easier. At the same time, a lot of time is also saved.
In the recent past, there has been an increase in the price of cylinders in India. But let us tell you that through this special scheme of the government, you are getting gas cylinders for ₹300 cheaper. Let’s know who can get a cheaper cylinder for ₹300 through this scheme and what needs to be done for this. This will have a direct impact on your monthly budget.
What is Ujjwala Yojana
The central government runs many types of schemes for the people of the country. The government has started the Ujjwala Yojana to provide gas connections to all the houses in the country. Under this scheme, gas connections are given by the government to poor and needy families. At the same time, cheap cylinders are also provided.
Under the Ujjwala Yojana, you get a cylinder ₹300 cheaper than a normal cylinder. Currently, the price of a 14.2 kg domestic cylinder in Mumbai is ₹852. On the other hand, under the Ujjwala Yojana, you will get the same cylinder for ₹552 i.e. ₹300 cheaper. This is a big relief.
