Anila Bhagya Scheme Karnataka 2024: Objective 

The main objective of Anila Bhagya Scheme Karnataka 2024 is to provide fuel related benefits to BPL card holders in the state. Through this scheme, efforts are being made by the gas companies in the state to improve the infrastructure in the remote areas of the state, and through this, cylinders and gas facilities will be available to all eligible families in the state. Apart from this, two burner gas stoves will also be provided by the state government to all eligible families in the state through the Karnataka Anil Bhagya Yojana.

Central government’s Ujjwala program has not reached every beneficiary in the state. According to the data made public, only 6-7 lakh beneficiaries of Ujjwala Yojana have been received, which is not enough to meet the needs. Additionally, gas companies in the state are striving to improve infrastructure in remote areas so that cylinders can be delivered to households. Two-burner gas stoves will also be delivered by the state government to the beneficiaries’ homes.
