Government Schemes

Government schemes constitute an essential component of India’s public policy framework. They are designed to address critical socio-economic challenges, promote inclusive development, and ensure that the benefits of governance reach all sections of society, particularly the vulnerable and marginalized. For UPSC aspirants, a clear understanding of these schemes is indispensable, as they reflect the priorities, strategic interventions, and welfare commitments of the state across diverse sectors such as health, education, agriculture, employment, infrastructure, and social security.

This page provides a structured, concise, and updated repository of major government schemes implemented by the Central Government, Centrally Sponsored Schemes, and select State initiatives relevant for competitive examinations. Each scheme is presented with its key objectives, salient features, target beneficiaries, implementation mechanism, and associated ministries or departments, enabling aspirants to develop conceptual clarity as well as factual accuracy.
