Modi’s government Ujjwala scheme for providing free cooking gas connection is receiving praise worldwide. Recently, the International Energy Agency (IEA) praised the step by the Indian government, saying it is a “major achievement” in improving the environment and health of women.
Fatih Birol, Executive Director at IEA said, “Providing access to LPG across India by 2020 is a major achievement. It is not an energy issue, it is an economic issue, it is a social issue.”
Government has a target of providing eight crore connections by 2020 and so far 7.4 crore such connections have been given.
