Today, on the occasion of International Women's Day, Prime Minister Modi announced a decrease of Rs. 100 in the prices of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, a step towards relieving the financial strain on households. This decision, set to bring relief to millions of households nationwide, particularly empowers women, affirming the government's commitment to fostering 'Nari Shakti' or women empowerment.

Reduction in LPG cylinder prices comes as a proactive measure by the government to address the economic challenges faced by families, particularly women, who are often disproportionately affected by rising living costs. With cooking gas being a staple necessity in households across India, this price cut is expected to significantly ease the financial burden on families, allowing them to allocate resources to other essential needs.

PM Modi highlighted that the initiative not only aims at providing financial relief but also underscores the government's commitment to fostering a healthier environment. By making LPG cylinders more affordable, the government seeks to encourage the adoption of cleaner cooking fuels, contributing to a reduction in indoor air pollution and promoting better health outcomes for families, especially women and children.

This announcement aligns with government's vision of 'Ease of Living' for all citizens, with a particular focus on women's well-being and empowerment. By ensuring access to affordable cooking gas, government acknowledges the integral role women play in managing households and seeks to enhance their quality of life.

Reduction in LPG cylinder prices reflects a holistic approach to governance, addressing both economic and environmental concerns while prioritizing the needs of women and families.

As India celebrates International Women's Day, this decision stands as a sign to the government's unwavering commitment to advancing gender equality and fostering inclusive growth across the nation.
