Today the new year has started and people all over the country are celebrating it in their own style. For some people, the year 2024 has got off to a great start. While the price of 19 kg commercial LPG cylinder has reduced across the country on the first day of the year, for some people the price of domestic LPG cylinder has become only Rs 450 from today.
Promise was made during elections
We are talking about Rajasthan, where assembly elections have recently been completed and a new government has been formed under the leadership of the new Chief Minister. In the recent assembly elections, the ruling BJP at the Center got majority in Rajasthan also. After that Bhajan Lal Sharma was made the new Chief Minister of the state. During the elections, BJP had promised to provide LPG cylinder for Rs 450, which is being fulfilled from the beginning of the new year.
Cylinder refilling at half price
Newly appointed Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma had said that the promise of gas cylinder at Rs 450 will be implemented from January 1, 2024. Now this much awaited date has arrived. In such a situation, the year has started very well for those who want to get the benefit of this concessional gas cylinder scheme. Now they are going to get gas cylinders at almost half the price compared to others.
Cylinders will be available 12 times in a year
Women from poor families will benefit from this scheme. Women who are in BPL category i.e. below the poverty line, will get the benefit of this scheme. Beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will be entitled to cheap gas cylinder scheme. Under this scheme, all the beneficiaries will get 12 cylinders in a year at a cheaper rate. That means the beneficiaries of the scheme will be able to get the cylinder refilled 12 times in a year for Rs 450-450.
In this way you will get the benefit of the scheme
Rajasthan government has started a special campaign to extend the benefits of the scheme to the eligible beneficiaries, which has been named Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra. Under this yatra, camps will be organized at various places and through them, 39 public welfare schemes will be made available to the public, of which the concessional gas cylinder scheme is also one. To avail this benefit, the beneficiaries will have to go to the camp and get registered. After that, every time the cylinder is refilled, the subsidy amount will be sent to the beneficiaries’ account.
