These inequalities become hindrances for society, further widening the gap between rich and poor. .This article is a sincere attempt to examine the social welfare programs implemented by the federal and state governments, with a focus on the state of Maharashtra, and how they have helped those in need. and investigating a few facets of migrant assistance programs. It examines every state revenue division and evaluates its success using metrics including GDP contribution, literacy, sex ratio, and HDI.
