Abstract:
The state of Maharashtra having the second largest population in India ranks fifth in the country in terms of Human Development Index (HDI). In spite of
that, it is having 24.5% of population below Poverty line (BPL). Though this
figure is below the all India level of 29.8% but questions can always be asked on
various social assistance programmes implemented by the government and its
outcomes. The state has implemented various financial assistance programmes like
Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme, National Handicap Pension Scheme,
& National Widow Pension Scheme, National Maternity Benefit Scheme (NMBS) etc.
This research paper focuses on the various financial schemes of the Government of
Maharashtra and tries to find out its reach to the right beneficiaries and its outcomes.
