Abstract
Based on historical evidence, the first goal of welfare systems was to offer fundamental medical and therapeutic care. State governments periodically introduce various plans for this purpose, keeping in mind the provisions of the constitution. In this sense, the lives of those belonging to Scheduled Castes have been improved by the actions of succeeding governments. For this reason, enormous sums of money have been set aside. Positive aim can be inferred from the quantity of schemes that have been accepted for that reason. However, the consequence is incredibly unsatisfactory in terms of the outcome and the real social and In order to facilitate the flow of benefits and financial outlays from the General Sector in the State Plan for the Development of Scheduled Castes, the State Government established a separate Directorate for the purpose of formulating, overseeing, and reviewing the schemes of the Special Component Plan. This Directorate is overseen by the Welfare Department. It is necessary to adopt measures that directly improve the economic position of Scheduled Castes, given their economic backwardness. Through comprehensive and integrated beneficiary-oriented programmes for individuals, families, and groups of families, the Special Component Plan assists the underprivileged Scheduled Castes in improving their socioeconomic circumstances. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of welfare schemes by analysing the data at hand in order to comprehend the evolving lifestyle patterns and circumstances of the formerly marginalised groups in our society.
