FLAGSHIP SCHEMES OF RAJASTHAN
In any democracy the people elects their representatives by the process of election and
give them mandate to run the administration in order to provide the objective of welfare
states.
The elected governments in order to fulfill their promises made to the people during the
time elections formulate different types of schemes/policies for the welfare of the people
in general and of the vulnerable sections in particular. Similarly the Government of
Rajasthan has also implemented certain policies for the purpose of the welfare of the
people of the state. Out of the total schemes a few of the schemes are given priority
over the other ones, which are treated as Flagship Schemes (Schemes with high
priority).
On 15th May 2020 the Government of the State declared 19 Schemes of 9 different
Ministries or departments as Flagship schemes. The importance of categorising some
selected into Flagship schemes is firstly these follow an integrated approach in solving
the problems of the people, secondly priority is given to efforts in the solving the
problems and thirdly since a large chunk is diverted towards these schemes so the
schemes are not effected due to the paucity or dearth of funds.
Since the Flagship schemes are prioritised schemes so in this Part-1 of the yearly issue
(of two parts), the Flagship schemes are discussed in detail other schemes specially of
the Latest year will be discussed in next part. These schemes are very important since
mostly questions on current affairs are asked from these schemes. Also these schemes
are very important from the point of view of RAS mains examination where questions
can be asked about the policies of the government specially about the vulnerable
sections of the state.
