New Delhi: The Union Cabinet announced a significant hike in the Ujjwala subsidy on Wednesday, increasing it from Rs 200 to Rs 300 each refill.
The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), popularly known as the Ujjwala Yojana, is a social welfare program that was established in May 2016. The major goal of the Ujjwala system is to assist women in homes that rely on traditional and harmful cooking techniques such as burning wood, coal, or biomass with access to clean cooking fuel.
"This will bring relief to crores of women," said Anurag Thakur, minister of information and broadcasting.
The terms of reference for the Krishna water dispute tribunal have been approved by the Union Cabinet. In response to the news, Thakur claimed that the decision is in line with Telangana's demand.
In addition, the Cabinet has approved the establishment of a Central Tribal University in Telangana, which will cost Rs 889 crore.
The Cabinet has also approved the establishment of the National Turmeric Board, and the government has already issued the necessary notification. The government has set an ambitious goal of increasing turmeric exports from Rs 1,600 crore to an astonishing Rs 8,400 crore.
