Flagship Government Schemes: Ministry-wise Guide for RBI Grade B and Bank Exams

Last updated: 2026-11-13 · MockMentor

Government schemes appear in every exam we prepare students for: in General Awareness for bank PO and RBI Grade B Phase 1, and in Economic and Social Issues (ESI) answers in Phase 2 and NABARD. This guide lists the flagship schemes ministry by ministry. Each scheme has a short page with what it does, who benefits, the numbers worth remembering and likely exam questions.

How to use this guide: learn the "at a glance" table of each scheme first. Then connect schemes that work together, such as PM-KISAN with PM Kisan Maan-Dhan, or PMFBY with RWBCIS. Questions often test the link, not just the launch year.

How schemes are asked in exams

  • Phase 1 and bank PO GA: launch year, ministry, benefit amount, target group, and the latest change announced in the Budget or by the Cabinet.
  • RBI Grade B and NABARD Phase 2: the purpose and design of a scheme, its results, and how it could work better. A good answer names the scheme, gives one or two numbers and weighs strengths against gaps.
