Examining district-level performance of Ujjwala: The case of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand
Launched in 2016, Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) aims to encourage the adoption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking. Using National Sample Survey data for 2014 and 2017, this article examines the impact of PMUY in two states with low LPG usage – Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand. It finds intra-state disparities in LPG usage and PMUY enrolment: regions with relatively low usage rates pre-PMUY had low enrolment, with higher enrolment in urban than in rural areas.
