keywords: 

{'saubhagya': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'india scheme': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'universal household electrification': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'government': [5, 0, 0, 1], 'poor households': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'subsidies': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'areas': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Saubhagya, also known as Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana, is a Government of India scheme inclined towards achieving universal household electrification (option 1). This scheme`s aim is to provide energy accessibility to all by last mile connectivity and electricity connections to all remaining un-electrified households in rural as well as urban areas.

Option 2 talks about providing clean cooking fuel to poor households, which is related to Ujjwala Yojana not Saubhagya. Similarly, option 3, rationalizing subsidies on LPG, is not linked to Saubhagya; it would be more related to initiatives like the PAHAL scheme which deals with LPG subsidy transfers. Lastly, option 4, stopping female foeticide, is a social issue that is targeted through awareness campaigns and legislation but has no relation to the Saubhagya scheme. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
