Government Schemes

Know each flagship scheme by its purpose and launch year (these don't change). The objective and the year are the usual question.

Flagship schemes — purpose + year

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao2015welfare of the girl child
Ujjwala Yojana2016free LPG connections
Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY)2018health insurance up to ₹5 lakh/family/year
Cluster by year. Four flagships launched in 2014 (Swachh Bharat, Jan Dhan, Make in India) and 2015 (Digital India, Beti Bachao). Learning the year-clusters makes the "launched in which year" questions automatic.
