What does the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana primarily aim to provide?

• A. Electricity Distribution
• B. LPG Distribution
• C. Water Distribution
• D. Sanitation

Answer: (B)

The scheme is all about giving households access to clean cooking fuel by providing LPG connections. It was created to help low-income families, especially women, switch from traditional solid fuels like firewood and cow dung to liquefied petroleum gas, reducing indoor air pollution and saving health risks for women and children. The focus is on distributing LPG connections and ensuring access to the gas cylinder and stove, rather than supplying electricity, water, or sanitation through other programs. So the primary aim is LPG distribution.
