Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today launched the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana at Ballia.

He said the fruits of development must reach the eastern part of India, for us to gain strength in the fight against poverty.  The Prime Minister emphasized that schemes must be designed keeping in mind the welfare of the poor, and not merely to derive electoral benefit.
