This includes important schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Bharat Nirman, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, ICDS. For which financial assistance is provided by the government.
Under this scheme, those villages of the country are selected, in which more than 50% of the people belonging to Scheduled Castes live, so that the gap between non-SC and SC populations can be reduced. Through the scheme, attention is being paid to education, and social security in these villages, especially for children and women. Along with this, emphasis is being laid on sanitation and drinking water, food security, clean fuel and electricity, livelihood and skill development, and digitization with agricultural practices.
