Ujjwala 2.0 (Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana -PMUY)


According to another PMO statement, Prime Minister Modi will also launch the Ujjwala 2.0 (Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana -PMUY) by handing over LPG connections, at Mahoba Uttar Pradesh on August 10 at 12.30 pm via video conferencing.


During the event on Tuesday, Modi will interact with beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme and also address the nation.


In the Union Budget for Financial Year 2021-22, provision for an additional one crore LPG connection under the PMUY scheme was announced.


These one crore additional PMUY connections (under Ujjwala 2.0) aim to provide deposit-free LPG connections to those low-income families who could not be covered under the earlier phase of PMUY.


Along with a deposit-free LPG connection, Ujjwala 2.0 will provide first refill and hotplate free of cost to the beneficiaries. The enrolment procedure will require minimum paperwork and in Ujjwala 2.0, migrants will not be required to submit ration cards or address proof.


A self-declaration for both 'family declaration' and as a 'proof of address' will suffice, the PMO said.


Ujjwala 2.0 will help achieve the prime minister's vision of universal access to LPG, it said.


Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will also be present on the occasion.
