The year 2025 is drawing to a close, and it has been marked by several significant decisions made by the Modi government. During this time, the government took steps in areas such as social security, employment, health, environment, and research, the impact of which was directly felt in the daily lives of ordinary citizens. Importantly, these schemes were not merely confined to paper but reached a large number of people.

From preparing young people for employment to alleviating the health concerns of the elderly, the schemes launched and expanded in 2025 strengthened the vision of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ (Together with all, Development for all). Let’s learn more about the government schemes that had the greatest impact this year.

PM Internship Scheme

The PM Internship Scheme was the most talked-about scheme among young people in 2025. This scheme was announced through the budget and implemented nationwide this year. Its main objective was to provide opportunities to young people who face difficulties in finding jobs due to a lack of experience after obtaining their degrees.

Under this scheme, 12-month internships are being offered in the country’s top 500 companies. During the internship, young people receive a stipend of Rs. 5,000 per month, with contributions from both the government and private companies. For millions of young people, this scheme proved to be a strong first step towards securing permanent employment.

Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana

In the healthcare sector, the biggest decision of 2025 was the expansion of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. The government included all citizens aged 70 and above in this scheme. The most significant aspect of this decision was that there were no income criteria.

Now, every person above 70 years of age can avail of free treatment up to Rs. 5 lakh annually in government and listed private hospitals. This decision provided significant financial relief to the elderly and their families.

NPS Vatsalya Scheme

In 2025, the government launched the NPS Vatsalya Scheme, keeping in mind the long-term financial future of children. Under this scheme, parents can open a pension account in the name of their minor children. The amount deposited in this account grows through compounding.

When the child becomes an adult, this account is converted into a regular NPS account. In the long run, this scheme can play a crucial role in making children financially independent.

PM E-Drive Scheme

For environmental protection and pollution control, the government implemented the PM E-Drive Scheme in 2025, replacing the old FAME scheme. Under this scheme, subsidies are being provided for the purchase of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and e-buses.

This initiative not only increased the sales of electric vehicles but also took a significant step towards reducing pollution in cities. It also created new employment opportunities in the e-mobility sector.

Prime Minister Tribal Advanced Village Campaign

In 2025, the government focused special attention on the overall development of tribal communities. Under the Prime Minister Tribal Advanced Village Campaign, the goal was set to develop approximately 63,000 tribal-dominated villages across the country.

Work has begun to provide basic amenities, including pucca houses, roads, electricity, clean drinking water, and internet access, in these villages. This is expected to open up new avenues for education, health, and employment in tribal areas.

Bio-Ride Scheme   

In the field of science and research, the Bio-Ride Scheme was approved in 2025. Its objective is to promote biotechnology, medical research, and innovation. In the coming years, this scheme is expected to strengthen the country’s research capabilities and lead to the development of new technologies. Overall, the year 2025 was a year of significant policy decisions for the central government. The impact of these schemes was visible not only in statistics but also in the lives of ordinary people on the ground.
