Deepak Kumar and Dr. Anuj Tiwari
Considering the perception of the LPG dealers and households towards Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, the current study is carried out in the Rohtas district of Bihar in 2023. A total of 120 respondents i.e., 120 women households were taken for the study from 10 villages of 2 blocks under Rohtas district. 22 specific constraints perceived by households were categorized into 4 broad constraints, viz., social, cultural, economic, and physical constraints. Analysis was performed by using Garrett’s ranking method, and specific constraints were ranked accordingly. Garrett’s mean scores of specific constraints ranged 33.45 to 72.45 for social constraints, 42.98 to 65.03 for cultural constraints, 35.48 to 75.57 for economic constraints, and 40.530 to 70.60 for physical constraints as perceived by households. The paper may provide a better insight into the grassroots level constraints for implementation and acceptance of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojanain rural villages of India.
