Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojana was launched by PM Narendra Modi on May 1, 2016 in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. Under this scheme, more than 5 crore LPG connections have been made available to BPL families. Under the scheme, BPL families get financial assistance of Rs 1600 for an LPG connection. The price of Rs 1600 per connection includes cylinders, pressure regulators, booklets, safety houses etc. and it is borne by the government. Customers have to buy the stove themselves.

To reduce the financial burden on them, the government allows the cost of stove and first filled cylinder to be paid in monthly installments. The connection is issued in the name of the women of the family. This helps in empowerment of women, especially in rural India.
