Three free LPG cylinders for poor households

The promise was to provide three free LPG cylinders in a year to women of poor households. In May 2022, the Uttarakhand cabinet approved three free LPG cylinders annually for Antyodaya cardholders, with 1,84,142 cardholders covered and an estimated annual cost of Rs 55 crore; the state food department also lists an order for providing three free cylinders to registered Antyodaya ration-card holders for 2022-23. This substantively delivers the poor-household LPG support objective, though the implemented beneficiary class is Antyodaya cardholders rather than a verified wider category of all poor women-headed households. Budget: Rs 55 crore annual fiscal burden was reported for the scheme, so a promise-specific allocation exists.
