Government schemes are an essential part of the UPSC syllabus, appearing in both Prelims (factual questions) and Mains (analytical answers)—especially in GS Paper II (Governance, Welfare) and GS Paper III (Economy, Agriculture, and Environment).

For effective UPSC preparation, study each scheme's objective, nodal ministry, launch year and type (Central Sector or Centrally Sponsored), target beneficiaries, key features, and recent updates or achievements.

Central Sector Schemes are fully funded and implemented by the Union Government, while Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) are jointly funded by the Centre and States, with implementation carried out by the respective State Governments.
