The Deepam 2.0 scheme was launched by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in Edupuram, Srikakulam, to empower women by providing clean cooking energy and improving living conditions. This initiative builds upon the Deepam 1.0 scheme, which provided LPG connections and subsidies, and offers three free gas cylinders annually. The scheme aims to reduce financial burdens, promote cleaner cooking methods, and enhance the quality of life for women and their families, aligning with Naidu's 'Super 6' election promises focused on women's empowerment.
