He said that PMUY has just completed four years of its successful journey, which has led to momentous improvement in the lives of over 8 crore poor and deprived families.

The Minister said the NDA Government announced Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, and one of the important components was providing free gas cylinders for 3 months to the PMUY beneficiaries.
