Abstract

The Government Scheme Information Portal is a centralized web-based platform developed using
Django to provide organized and accessible information on various welfare schemes from the
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and district-level authorities. Data was scraped from official
government portals, cleaned, and structured using Python and Pandas, then integrated into the
backend through CSV files. The system enables users to explore schemes by state, department, or
district using dynamic filters. It also includes a feedback system managed via Django’s admin panel
for user interaction and content moderation. This project enhances public access, promotes digital
transparency, and demonstrates how open-source tools can be used for social welfare.
