Prospectively, J&K need cent percent implementation of PMUY scheme, especially in rural areas, which in consequences not only save many precious lives of females and children but relieve them from the drudgery of collecting firewood.
However, effective measures are requisite for the mission of having LPC connection in each and every household of the country and hassle-free availability of cooking gas that would lead towards smoke-free society, less pollution, convenience and healthy life.
Whereas, State government says that it has achieved a target of 75 percent in the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) by providing free LPG gas connections to 3.70 lakh below poverty line households in the state. Out of 4.90 lakh total eligible applicants, the government has provided free LPG gas connections to 3.70 lakh BPL households in the state.
But, unfortunately, there are hundreds of household in rural areas of J&K which are not yet benefitted under scheme, for which government should synergized efforts for implementation of scheme in those areas, where the females from BPL households would be provided with sets of chulha, cylinder, gas pipe, regulator and safety manual.
So that aim to safeguard the health of women and children by providing them with a clean cooking fuel – LPG can be successfully achieved while they do not have to compromise on their health in smoky kitchens or wander in unsafe areas for collecting firewood.
Notably, central and state governments need to work in tandem to ensure better implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme to achieve the envisioned goal of safeguarding the health of women & children by providing them with a clean cooking fuel – LPG, so that they don’t have to compromise their health in smoky kitchens or wander in unsafe areas collecting firewood.
However, hope that more such projects shall come up in the state creating employment avenues for the youth besides ensuring better LPG penetration.
Pertinently, efforts from LPG Gas entrepreneurs initiative shall provide better services to the consumers besides generating employment avenues for our youth. There is need of concept of on-call LPG delivery system being offered by the agency that shall make the service mechanism more prompt and easy.
