Welfare schemes are very important as far as
development of an economy is concerned, because
inclusive development is the main talking subject of the
hour. In a state like Karnataka there is a need to take
steps to tackle increasing population by way of
improving standard of living, enhancing employment
opportunities, providing better quality of life to citizens
in order to achieve targeted economic growth and
development.
