Setting its sights on the six crore beneficiaries of the Ujjwala LPG scheme, the poll-bound government has started a programme, Ujjwala Swabhiman Utsav, where petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan and other ministers will interact with the families through video conferencing.
The first such programme took place on January 24, when Pradhan and women and child welfare minister Maneka Gandhi in-teracted with around 50,000 beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme in 30 districts of Odisha through video conferencing from Delhi. The beneficiary women had acknowledged how the scheme helped them and the changes it brought to their lives. The government is now planning to take it to other parts of the country. First, Odisha will be covered and then it is likely to reach Uttar Pradesh.
