Let’s take a deeper dive into the significant steps that are receiving the highest focus this year.

The PM Kisan scheme is the main one for the support of farmers in India. The government in 2025 has raised financial assistance for the qualifying farmers and extended the scheme to cover more small and marginal landholders. The scheme is still transferring ₹6,000 annually in three parts directly to the bank accounts of farmers, which aids them in the management of expenses for seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural needs.

Next-gen businesses will no longer have to go through the difficult registration and approval processes, thus making the atmosphere for innovation very favorable.

Housing is still on the top of the list. The PM Awas Yojana has been modified to include a larger number of urban and rural households this year, along with the grants for first-time homebuyers and particular perks for women-led families. The long-term goal is to make it easier for everyone to get a house by the year 2030 by speeding up the house construction and offering financial backing to low- and middle-income families.

4. National Health Mission — Strengthening Public Health

Public health is still a major point of emphasis in 2025. The National Health Mission is at the forefront of the health sector where the government has also allocated substantial resources for the development of rural health and telemedicine through vaccination programs. The population will benefit from easier access to primary health-care services and the introduction of more effective communication systems for disease monitoring on a nationwide scale.

At the very start of the year 2025, the Indian digital initiatives saw a whopping increase due to the world transitioning into a digital economy. The government has initiated a platforms for availing government services, enhancing skills through online training and making them digitally literate. In parallel, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship is busy developing an effective educational program for the young generation focusing on the industries such as IT, AI, healthcare, and renewable energy.

6. Ujjwala & Jal Jeevan Mission — Sustainable Living Initiatives

Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana has made it possible to have clean cooking fuel in rural areas where LPG connections have now reached a larger number of households. Then again, Jal Jeevan Mission has been giving access to tap water to rural households and is very close to its goal of providing water supply and sanitation to every Indian household.

7. Green & Renewable Energy Incentives

The year 2025 will witness the emergence of green growth as well. The Indian government is promoting subsidies for solar panels, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient appliances to meet the climate commitments made by India. Both, the businesses and citizens will have the opportunity to get tax rebates and easy loans for adopting environment-friendly technologies.
