How are these shortlists chosen?

DeshSeva editors curate the most-searched combinations of state, scheme category, and ministry, and write a short intro for each. The actual scheme list is generated live from our active catalogue—no static results.

How is this different from the eligibility checker form?

The form lets you combine any state, category, ministry, and persona. These curated combos are stable, indexable URLs we keep up to date with editorial notes for popular searches like "agriculture schemes in Bihar" or "women-focused schemes in Maharashtra".

Do these pages confirm I am eligible?

No. They are discovery shortlists only. Read each scheme’s eligibility section and the official portal before applying.

How often are the lists refreshed?

Scheme lists refresh as we add or update active schemes—usually within minutes. Editorial intros are reviewed periodically.
