Rural development is the basic condition for the development of the country. 68.9% of the total population lives in villages. As a large part of the country's population lives in rural areas, many schemes have been implemented by the government for rural development. In the present study the study of MNREGA Rural Development Scheme, National Social Assistance Programme, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, National Rural Livelihood Mission, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Digital India Land Records Modernization Program and Swachh Bharat Mission-Rural Yojana is based on secondary data sources. The main objective of this study is to study the amount allocated in the budget for rural development schemes by the central government of India and its actual expenditure. At the end of the study it is concluded that the actual expenditure is less than the income in every scheme except MNREGA scheme. The MNREGA scheme and the National Social Assistance Program have witnessed higher actual expenditure than revenue in the past five years despite higher revenue allocations due to the Covid-19 period.
