Flagship Schemes of the Government of India

Flagship schemes of a government are those schemes which are the main or most important and address major national concerns on health, education, environment, irrigation, urban and rural development, employment and other sectors. As the schemes are of utmost importance, the funding of these schemes is slightly higher than other schemes. The word “Flagship” associated with these important schemes is derived from the original term ‘flagship’ meaning the most important or prioritised concern of an organisation.
