Now about 50 lakh families in the state will get gas cylinders for just ₹ 500. Yes, now there will be relief from the cost of cooking gas and your pocket will not be burdened much.
This new scheme named ‘Har Ghar Har Grihini Yojana‘ was launched on August 12, 2024. Its direct purpose is to provide relief to poor families in the era of inflation and provide them with LPG gas at a cheaper rate. This article will tell you in detail about the full details, eligibility, and application process of this scheme so that you do not miss out on this great facility.
What is Haryana Gas Cylinder Scheme
Under this scheme, all eligible families will not have to buy gas cylinders at market price. They will have to pay only ₹500 and the remaining amount will be deposited by the government directly in their account as subsidy. This will reduce the burden on families and their kitchen expenses can also be easily managed.
Launching the scheme, Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini said that this initiative is for the poor section of the state so that they do not face any problems in buying gas cylinders. Given inflation, this step was very necessary and it will provide relief to millions of people. It is a powerful symbol of financial empowerment.
