About Schemes In India
Schemes In India (schemesinindia.in) is a free, independent information portal run by the Schemes In India team to help Indian citizens understand, find, and apply for government schemes and welfare programmes from the central government and all state governments. We started the site in 2025, and it now covers 1,000+ central and state schemes — every page checked against the official government source before it is published.
Our Mission
Millions of Indians miss out on benefits they are entitled to — simply because they don't know the scheme exists, don't understand the eligibility, or don't know how to apply. We built Schemes In India to change that. Our goal is to make government scheme information accessible, accurate, and easy to understand for every Indian — regardless of education level or internet experience.
Editorial Standards & Methodology
Every scheme page on this site is researched and written by our editorial team, following a documented 6-step process. For full details, see our Editorial Process & Methodology page. In summary:
- Source verification: All scheme details are cross-verified against official government portals (.gov.in domains), ministry websites, and the Gazette of India
- Regular updates: Every scheme page carries a "Last Updated" date. We review each page every 30-90 days for changes in eligibility, benefit amount, or application process
- Plain language: Technical or legal jargon is explained in simple Hindi/English so first-generation internet users can understand
- Comprehensive coverage: Each scheme page includes eligibility, documents, application steps, FAQs, helpline numbers, and direct apply links
- Correction policy: If a reader notifies us of incorrect information, we update within 24-48 hours and add a correction note

Who Runs Schemes In India
Schemes In India is run by a small independent editorial team based in Pune, Maharashtra. We started the site in 2025 because ordinary families struggle to navigate scheme applications — the official portals are impossibly fragmented across dozens of ministry sites, state portals and PDF circulars, and the people who need the benefits most are the ones least equipped to chase that paper trail. We wanted one place where an ordinary citizen could land on a scheme, see what it actually offers, who qualifies, and exactly how to apply, in language that doesn't require a law degree.
Our content is led by Riya Sharma, our Editor and lead researcher. Riya researches central and state government schemes from official sources and writes them up in simple, easy-to-follow language so that every family can understand what they are entitled to and how to claim it. Every page is cross-checked against the official .gov.in source linked on the page. We monitor PIB (Press Information Bureau), MyGov.in, ministry press releases and the official Gazette so the content stays current, and we review reader corrections promptly. See our Editorial Process & Methodology for exactly how each page is researched and verified.
Editorial Independence
This site is intended to be supported by display advertising, and any affiliate links will be clearly disclosed on the relevant page. We never accept payment for biased coverage, and we never publish content from PR agencies as if it were editorial. Schemes are covered on merit and relevance to readers — not because anyone paid for the placement.
How We Are Funded
To keep this resource free for all citizens, the site is being prepared for support through display advertising, and possibly modest affiliate partnerships in the future — each of which will be clearly disclosed where it appears. At present the site earns no advertising or affiliate income. We never charge users any fees for accessing scheme information, and we never accept payment in exchange for biased coverage of any scheme or political party.
