Schemes for Rural Development (Constitutional Perspective)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Traces the constitutional impetus (Article 38, 40) for integrated rural upliftment. Flagship schemes include MGNREGA, which guarantees wage employment and fosters creation of durable assets, and PM Awaas Yojana for housing. Gram Panchayats often implement them, linking to the 73rd Amendment’s devolution principles. Constitutional bodies (Finance Commission) recommend fund transfers for capacity building. The synergy of central guidelines and local autonomy is tested by corruption, tardy payments, or skill gaps. Nonetheless, these efforts reflect constitutional commitments to reduce rural-urban disparities, ensuring panchayats anchor decentralized planning that addresses local priorities effectively.
