The present study is undertaken to explore the role of three Government schemes for rural development, that is, MGNREGA, Swachh Bharat Mission and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in developing the infrastructure, standard of living and overall development of people in rural areas. More specifically, the main objective of the study undertaken is to study and analyse the impact of Government Schemes on rural development that includes social and economic development of the rural areas. Primary data were collected through schedule from the beneficiaries of the Government schemes in Udhampur district. In the study, Exploratory factor analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis and Structural equation modelling have been used to test and analyse the hypothesized relationship. The study found that three Government Schemes positively and significantly affects both economic development as well as social development. Further, the present study revealed that Government schemes influence social development more as compared to the economic development. The study is limited to three Government schemes and that too in two villages of Udhampur district. In future, more schemes like National Rural Livelihood Mission, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Deendayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushal Yojana, et cetera, could be included in research studies.
