Himachal Pradesh had become the first state in the country to have “100% LPG gas coverage”.
Following the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana in 2016, the state government launched its own Himachal Grihini Suvidha Yojana in May 2018 to cover the remaining households.
Except families having a pensioner, income taxpayer or any member employed with the government, board, corporation etc, all households of the state without an LPG connection were eligible.
