The government has set a target of providing gas connections to 80 lakh households in Odisha by December-end, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmednra Pradhan said today.
LPG penetration in Odisha has already reached 58.55 per cent till May 1, 2018 from 20 per cent level in June 2014, the minister said.
Speaking at the Pradhan Mantri LPG Panchayat held today at Mangalajodi in Tangi Block of Khorda district (Odisha) as part of Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, Pradhan said that 24.23 lakh connections have been released in the state under the Prime Minister Ujjwala Yojna.
He added that, currently, four bottling plants are there in Odisha and three new bottling plants are being planned to be set up in Khorda, Bolangir and Rayagada districts.
LPG Panchayats are being observed to promote learning through peer group interaction - Kuch Seekhein, Kuch Sikhayein, where apart from experience sharing, it also aims at safe and sustained usage of LPG.
