Amaravati, December 11, 2024: In a significant achievement, the Andhra Pradesh government has reported that 97.4 percent of beneficiaries under the Deepam-2 scheme have successfully availed themselves of their free refills. The scheme, aimed at providing subsidized cooking gas to low-income families, has been widely praised for its success in ensuring that essential household needs are met at no cost.
The Deepam-2 scheme, an extension of the state’s flagship program for providing LPG connections to economically weaker sections, has been instrumental in reducing the financial burden on households that rely heavily on cooking gas. This initiative is part of the state government’s broader effort to promote cleaner cooking fuels and reduce reliance on traditional, less environmentally friendly cooking methods.
According to officials, the scheme’s reach has significantly improved, ensuring that eligible households are not only getting the LPG connections but also their regular refills free of charge. The success of the scheme reflects the government’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and promoting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.
The high percentage of beneficiaries utilizing the free refill service highlights the positive impact of the scheme and the strong response from the targeted demographic. Government officials have expressed confidence in expanding the program further to ensure that more families can benefit from this essential support.
