STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT SCHEMES IN THE RURAL EMPOWERMENT

Abstract

This study analyses policy recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of rural development programs, ensuring equitable growth and long-term empowerment.Rural empowerment is a critical aspect of national development, and government schemes play a pivotal role in fostering economic, social, and infrastructural growth in rural areas. This study examines the impact of various government initiatives aimed at enhancing livelihoods, improving access to education and healthcare, and promoting self-sufficiency among rural communities. Through a comprehensive analysis of key schemes such as MGNREGA, PMAY-G, NRLM, and other welfare programs, this research assesses their effectiveness in improving the quality of life, reducing poverty, and fostering sustainable development. Data is gathered through surveys, interviews, and secondary sources to evaluate the reach, implementation challenges, and overall success of these initiatives. The findings highlight both the positive transformations brought about by government interventions and the gaps that need to be addressed for greater inclusivity and efficiency.
