TYPES OF WELFARE

sponsored by governments for needy
individuals and families, including schemes,
such as food stamps, health care assistance, and
unemployment compensation. These welfare
schemes are typically financed through
taxation.
CHALLENGES AND CRITICISM OF
WELFARE PROGRAMS IN INDIA
Despite the government's efforts, challenges persist in ensuring effective
implementation, reaching the intended beneficiaries, and minimizing leakages and
corruption in welfare delivery.

Critics argue that many welfare programs suffer from inefficiencies, lack of
accountability, and inadequate coverage, resulting in limited impact on poverty
alleviation and social development.

Issues such as bureaucratic hurdles, political interference, and insufficient

resources often hinder the successful implementation of welfare initiatives.
 IMPACT AND ROLES OF WELFARE PROGRAMS
Welfare programs play a crucial role in India's development agenda, contributing
to poverty reduction, social inclusion, and human development outcomes.

Despite challenges, successful welfare interventions have led to improvements in

education enrollment, healthcare access, nutritional outcomes, and livelihood
opportunities for millions of marginalized individuals and communities.
