The Indian government runs several welfare schemes for the health, safety, and well-being of women. One such scheme is the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), under which free LPG gas connections are provided to women from economically weaker sections of society. An upgraded version, Ujjwala Yojana 3.0, was launched in 2025, and some new features were added in 2025. The objectives of this scheme are:
  • To protect women from diseases caused by smoke
  • To provide clean fuel to every household
  • To provide gas connections to poor families in rural and urban areas
