The Government of India’s Gram Ujala Yojana aims to replace old yellow bulbs with LED bulbs. So that electricity can be saved and carbon emission can be reduced. LED bulbs save electricity bills. The best thing about this scheme is that the government is not giving any help or subsidy in this as the cost of the bulb is low.

Currently, LED bulbs are widely used in homes. Using LED bulbs saves a lot of electricity. But high quality LED bulbs cost much more in the open market. If you were told that you can get a 12 watt LED bulb for just 10 rupees, you might not believe it. But this is absolutely true. A scheme of cheap LED bulbs has been launched by the central government and a 3-year warranty is also being provided on these bulbs. Let us tell you how you can get this bulb.

The Central Government is currently running the UJALA scheme in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana. At present only the people of the village here can buy a 12 watt LED bulb for 10 rupees. You can avail this government scheme till 31 March 2022. You have to buy bulbs by paying only 10 rupees and you can buy 5 bulbs by paying 50 rupees.
