Mukhyamantri Anila Bhagya Scheme 2025: Free LPG Connection in Karnataka
If you live in Karnataka and your family has a Below Poverty Line (BPL) card, you can get a free LPG connection through the Mukhyamantri Anila Bhagya Scheme 2025. This scheme is started to provide clean cooking fuel to poor families and help reduce health issues caused by traditional fuels like wood or coal.
The state government is giving free LPG gas connections, double burner gas stoves, and two cylinder refills under this scheme. If you haven’t received benefits under the central government’s Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PM Ujjwala Yojana), you can apply online or offline to get this free connection. After submitting your application, it usually takes about 30 days for the government to process and approve your benefits.
