As the Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra unfolds across the nation, women from various corners of Bharat are stepping forward to share the impact the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) on their lives. They’re talking about how the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) has made a big difference in their lives. This government initiative, started in 2016, is all about giving women access to clean cooking fuel. In just a month of the ongoing Yatra, 3.77 lakh women have signed up for the PM Ujjwala Yojana, adding to the millions who’ve already benefited.
One woman, Seema Kumari from Uttar Pradesh, used to face daily challenges in her kitchen due to traditional cooking methods with firewood. The smoke-filled kitchen affected her health and took up a lot of her time. But thanks to the PMUY, she got an LPG cylinder, and her kitchen transformed. No more smoke, making cooking easier and quicker. Seema is really thankful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this positive change.
Another woman, Bachan Devi from Jammu and Kashmir, had a similar story. Collecting firewood and rushing to prepare meals were part of her daily struggles. But with the PM Ujjwala Yojana, she got relief from the hard task of collecting firewood. Now she can cook timely meals for her children without the extra burden. Bachan Devi expresses immense gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the cylinder that brought positive change to her life.
Before the PM Ujjwala Yojana, many households relied on traditional cooking fuels, leading to smoky kitchens and health issues for women. Launched in May 2016, this initiative aimed to make clean cooking fuel like LPG available to rural and deprived households. The impact has been revolutionary, freeing women from years of difficulty and making the dream of a smoke-free kitchen a reality. The Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra is showcasing these stories of empowerment, transformation, and progress fueled by visionary initiatives like the PMUY.
