The \u201cKerosene Free Delhi\u201d scheme was launched in collaboration with three Oil marketing companies (BPCL, HPCL and IOCL) and Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Under the scheme, free gas connections along with LPG filled cylinders, two burner gas stove, regulator and\u00a0Suraksha\u00a0<\/em>(safety) pipe were issued to the Jhuggi Ration Card (JRC), Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Antodaya Ann Yojana (AAY) ration card holders who were using kerosene oil for cooking. The scheme was intended to provide 356 thousand poor households with the initial capital support system in terms of free LPG connection and upfront costs, to switch to LPG as a cooking fuel. The households were required to pay for subsequent purchases of LPG cylinders.
This study undertaken by IRADe aims to evaluate the \u201cKerosene Free Delhi\u201d scheme launched by the Government of Delhi. The broad objectives are the following:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This study focused on poverty, gender and environment and health issues in Himachal Pradesh and involved a gender specific survey to address this issue. The study found women walk approximately 30 Kms in a month to collect fuel-wood. Primary survey estimated accessibility and use of clean fuel by households for 30 villages in two districts and a survey on the kerosene depots was also conducted to get the seller\u2019s perspective of supply situation under Public Distribution System(PDS). It was found that the people in HP are willing to pay for Kerosene, the next fuel on the energy ladder above biofuels, but due to increased availability of LPG, the demand for kerosene has been on the decline. The profit margins in selling kerosene under PDS are fairly low as a result most sellers have other businesses, commonly ration shops and view this as a supplementary business.<\/span><\/p><\/div>
