Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the second leg of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY 2.0) on Tuesday, by handing over Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG or cooking gas) connections at Mahoba Uttar Pradesh through video conferencing. Modi also interacted with beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme during the event.
