Hyderabad: Target of 1.5 crore connections fixed for the current financial year for Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) has been achieved within a span of less than eight months and the scheme is being implemented now across 35 States/UTs, according to a press release issued by Indian Oil Corporation here on Monday.
It said the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide clean cooking fuel to poor households in the country had been taken forward through implementation of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).
