How to Get Free LPG Connection for BPL Families
The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana was launched and was widely accepted, with over 95.1 lakh connections being registered and distributed in 11 states so far. The Yojana was formulated to ensure that no rural or below-poverty-line (BPL) family or individual would have to resort to cooking over wood, charcoal, cow dung, or other unhealthy fuel sources.
Rural households in India have always had limited or no access to modern utilities like LPG, but that's changing now that a lot of private LPG connection holders who held more than one connection for the sake of convenience have surrendered the extra connections.
In addition, the government has made additional LPG cylinders and service infrastructure available. This has freed up a lot of LPG cylinders and equipment which can now be distributed among the rural poor.
Eligibility Criteria for Ujjwala Yojana
In order to be eligible for the discounted or free LPG connections offered by the government, applicants must be:
- The applicant must be a woman and should be at least 18 years old.
- In the household, there should not be another LPG connection from an OMC.
- The woman should be from a poor household and required declaration must be provided.

How to Get Free LPG Connection for Below Poverty Line (BPL) Families
