Over 50% of rural households use fossil fuel for cooking: NSSO

Overall, around 37 per cent of households still use polluted sources of energy for cooking purposes. It raises questions over the success of Government of India's flagship scheme, Pradhan Mantri Ujjawala Yojana (PMUY), under which over 9.58 crore households received LPG cylinders. However in a stark difference, 92% of urban households use clean energy sources for cooking. Here clean fuel refers to LPG, other natural gas, gobar gas, other biogas, electricity (including solar/ wind power generators) and solar cooker.
