The Indian government provides social assistance and social security to its inhabitants. These programmes are financed by the federal government, state governments, or both. “Central sector schemes” are wholly supported by the federal government, whilst “centrally sponsored schemes” are partially funded by the federal government and executed by the states. There were 740 central sector programmes and 65 centrally sponsored schemes in India’s Union budget for 2022. Different ministries of the Indian government establish various development projects to maximise people’s wellbeing rather than profit. The government has created initiatives for rural development in India, such as the National Rural Livelihood Mission, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana, MGNREGA, and Bharat Nirman.
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana
The Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana aims to train underprivileged rural youth and provide them with jobs that pay at least the minimum wage. It is one of several projects spearheaded by India’s Ministry of Rural Development to improve rural livelihoods. It is a component of the National Rural Livelihood Mission, often known as Aajeevika, a poverty-reduction mission. More than 55 million underprivileged rural youngsters will benefit from the programme, which will provide them with long-term work.
This programme is significant because of its ability to alleviate poverty. It is also intended to contribute significantly to Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
The Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana, which is part of the National Livelihood Mission, aims to meet the professional goals of rural youth while also diversifying rural families’ income. The initiative, launched on September 25, 2014, is aimed mostly at rural youngsters aged 15 to 35 who come from disadvantaged homes. A total of Rs 1500 crores has been up for the plan, which would improve employability. The yojana is spread over 568 districts and 6215 blocks in 21 states and union territories, impacting the lives of young people. A total of 600 partners are working on 690 projects. According to official data, more than 2.7 lakh candidates have been taught so far, with over 1.34 lakh have been placed in jobs.
Swachchh Bharat Mission
The Swachchh Bharat Mission, also known as the Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan or Clean India Mission, is a national effort launched by the Indian government in 2014 to end open defecation and improve solid waste management. It’s a reformed version of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, which was launched in 2009 but fell short of its goals.
The Swachchh Bharat Mission’s first phase lasted through October 2019.
To assist consolidate the work of Phase 1, Phase 2 is being implemented between 2020–21 and 2024–25.
The goal, launched by the Indian government, aims to achieve an “open-defecation-free” India by October 2, 2019, the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth, by installing toilets. During this time, an estimated 89.9 million toilets were constructed by the government. The initial part of the programme also includes eradicating manual scavenging, raising awareness and changing behaviour on sanitary measures, and increasing local capacity.
Between 2014 and 2019, the government subsidised the building of approximately 90 million toilets, yet some Indians, particularly in rural regions, chose not to use them. The campaign was chastised for enforcing the use of toilets through coercion. Some people were told they couldn’t defecate in public and threatened to lose their government benefits. The effort was supported by the Indian government and state governments.

Conclusion
Government can continue work in progress, and the government can release monies set aside for such projects. Government can start new works from the approved annual action plan for the current year with the prior consent of the District Election Officer in any Panchayat where all ongoing works have been completed. There is a requirement for taking up new wage employment works and where funds released directly to the Panchayats from the Ministry of Rural Development are available. Only those assistance organisations that have already received a portion of their subsidy/grant will receive the remaining instalments. Until the elections are finished, no new individual beneficiaries or SHGs will be provided financial aid.
