Keeping an eye on 2019 elections, the Centre has launched an aggressive campaign to publicise the Narendra Modi Government’s flagship Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY).
As part of the campaign, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday flagged off mobile LED vans from Indian Oil Corporation’s office here.
“These mobile LED vans will move into the interiors of Odisha to create awareness on PMUY and safe practices of usage of LPG in a unique way,” Pradhan said. He said the specially designed vehicles will work as a mobile theatre. These mobile LED vans will spread awareness about the safe practices of using domestic LPG as well act as moving centre for collection of know your customer (KYC) form from prospective eligible consumers. Ten such vehicles will ply in the State, he added.
In last 28 months, more than five crore BPL households across the country have benefitted from PMUY by getting LPG connections. In Odisha, 33 lakh connections have been released since its launch, he said.
