LPG connections have increased no doubt, but PMUY beneficiaries do not seem to be using their LPG cylinders, a large number of PMUY beneficiaries have not come back for refills However the sustainability of PMUY is still debated. Present study was conducted in Bihar. 200 women beneficiaries of PMUY (age group 40-55 years) from the two blocks (Kurhani & Bochahan) of Muzaffarpur district was selected randomly. Interview schedule was constructed to record the data obtained. The interview questions were analyzed using descriptive narrations.
