NEW DELHI: More than half of the women in large parts of rural India Gujarat included continue to use unclean kitchen fuel five years after a Central flagship scheme was launched. This is despite the fact that in 2019, the country achieved the Central target of supplying 8 crore free LPG connections to poor households.
A National Family Health Survey (NFHS) says that in five states Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal and Gujarat more than 50 per cent of rural households do not use clean fuel. The survey also says that a large section of rural women is still not using LPG in their kitchens despite having cylinders.
