Rajasthan Social Pension

Social Security pension schemes are implemented by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, (SJED) Government of Rajasthan. In particular, Article 41 of the Constitution of India directs the State to provide public assistance to its citizens in case of destitute, old age, sickness and disablement and in other cases of undeserved want within the limit of its economic capacity and development. It is in accordance with these principles that the Government of India introduced in 1995 the National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) to lay foundation for a National Policy for Social Assistance for the poor.
