This reliance on traditional fuels leads to harmful household air pollution, resulting in an estimated <strong>3.2 million deaths annually, with over 237,000 of these deaths occurring in children under the age of 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adverse health effects of household air pollution include an increased risk of illnesses such as <strong>pneumonia, lung cancer, ischaemic heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases<\/strong>. Moreover, the use of non-renewable wood fuels for cooking contributes significantly to CO2 emissions, and residential solid fuel burning accounts for 58 percent of black carbon emissions. It is a major source of household air pollution due to incomplete combustion of solid biomass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In India, particularly in rural areas, impoverished communities have historically used traditional fuels like firewood, coal, and dung cakes for cooking, often unaware of the adverse health consequences. This has resulted in higher mortality rates due to various illnesses associated with household air pollution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significant Role Played by the PMUY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research also highlights that this issue has a gender dimension, as girls and women are disproportionately exposed to the harmful effects of solid fuels.<\/strong> They are often responsible for cooking and face increased exposure to household air pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme has played a vital role in addressing this issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>By providing access to clean and affordable LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cooking gas, PMUY has empowered women economically and socially. <\/li><li>They no longer need to collect firewood or traditional fuels, which used to involve arduous journeys and significant time and effort. <\/li><li>This newfound convenience enables them to participate more actively in community life and explore additional income-generating opportunities.<\/li><li>Furthermore, the Ujjwala scheme has enhanced the safety and security of women. <\/li><li>They no longer have to venture into isolated and potentially unsafe areas to gather firewood or fuel. <\/li><li>This has improved their overall well-being and reduced exposure to potential risks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In summary, addressing household air pollution, especially among women and children, is crucial for achieving a sustainable and pollution-free future. Initiatives like PMUY in India have made significant strides in providing cleaner and safer cooking solutions, benefiting both the environment and the health and well-being of women and their families.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Initiatives_to_Expand_LPG_Coverage\"><\/span>Initiatives to Expand LPG Coverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The <strong>PAHAL (Pratyaksh Hastantarit Labh)<\/strong> initiative revolutionized the distribution of LPG cylinders by shifting from subsidized pricing to selling them at market rates while electronically transferring applicable subsidies directly to individuals&#8217; bank accounts. This innovative approach significantly reduced the prevalence of &#8220;ghost&#8221; accounts and the illicit use of household cylinders for commercial purposes, ensuring that only the rightful beneficiaries receive the subsidies.<\/li><li>The <strong>&#8220;Give It Up&#8221; campaign<\/strong> took a voluntary approach to subsidy reduction, encouraging individuals to willingly surrender their subsidies. Through extensive promotion, millions of people willingly opted out of subsidies, redirecting the funds to those who genuinely needed assistance in acquiring LPG cylinders.<\/li><li>During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in 2020, a free refill scheme was implemented under the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/pradhan-mantri-garib-kalyan-yojana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY)<\/a><\/strong>. This scheme provided substantial assistance, amounting to Rs. 9670.41 Crore, to PMUY beneficiaries, facilitating 14.17 Crore LPG refills.<\/li><li><strong>The per capita consumption of PMUY beneficiaries has seen a notable increase from 3.01 in 2018-19 to 3.71 in 2022-23.<\/strong> In the current year (2022-23), PMUY beneficiaries have collectively obtained more than 35 Crore LPG refills, indicating the program&#8217;s positive impact and growing usage among its recipients.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list is-grid columns-3 wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/weekly-current-affairs\/\" aria-label=\"Weekly Current Affairs 2026 for Bank, SSC, Railways &amp;
