Centrally Sponsored Schemes

Centrally Sponsored Schemes are initiatives funded and coordinated by the Indian central government to promote development and public welfare across various states and Union Territories. The central government provides financial assistance and guidelines, which are implemented by state governments or local agencies. These schemes target specific areas like health, education, infrastructure, and social welfare, aiming to ensure uniform progress and bridge regional disparities. By sharing resources and expertise, such schemes foster coordinated efforts between the central and state governments, enhancing efficiency and ensuring that development benefits reach diverse communities effectively.
