Government schemes for residents of Kerala
Kerala’s high literacy and strong public-health record show in its schemes, which place unusual emphasis on social-security pensions, health, women’s self-help networks, and welfare for migrant and returnee workers. Every central scheme is available here too, including PM-KISAN, Ayushman Bharat, and the national pension and housing programmes.
State welfare here is often routed through local self-government bodies and welfare-fund boards, so a Kerala residence proof and the relevant board membership can matter. Browse the schemes below and use the checker to see which support fits you or your family.
