Welfare Schemes of Haryana

Overview

Haryana government runs numerous welfare schemes targeting women, youth, farmers, and economically weaker sections. For HTET, questions typically test your knowledge of scheme names, their objectives, eligibility criteria, and key benefits. This topic appears in the Haryana General Knowledge section across all three levels (PRT, TGT, PGT).

The state has been particularly active in addressing gender imbalance (Haryana historically had one of India's worst sex ratios), youth unemployment, and social security. Understanding flagship schemes like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Saksham Yuva is essential—these are frequently tested. You should also know schemes related to education, health, and agriculture that directly impact the communities you will serve as a teacher.
