Abstract	This study explores the awareness and impact of key government welfare schemes in India, with a focus on the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY), Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushal Yojana (DDU-GKY). The study uses secondary data and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to assess demographic trends, awareness levels, and budget allocation. The findings show that, while most respondents are aware of government plans, their detailed knowledge is limited. Social media is important for distributing information, whilst traditional media sources have less impact. Statistical tests, such as an Independent Sample t-test and a One-Way ANOVA, show substantial differences in fund utilization and beneficiary reach across the schemes. Notably, government support for PMAY and PMGSY varies greatly by state, although DDU-GKY funding is stable
