The Most Discussed Schemes in Parliament

Cross-referencing the PIB announcement register (4,158 scheme-mapped announcements) with the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha question registries (2,242 and 1,825 questions since 2019), all classified by one scheme map — so the join is exact. Which schemes does Parliament actively monitor, and which have been announced but never questioned in detail?

56 schemes actively discussed & monitored (≥10 questions across both houses, one within 12 months) · 30 with some discussion · 10 announced but never questioned in either house.

The ten Parliament asks about most · combined LS + RS questions

UDAN is the outlier twice over: Parliament's most-questioned incentive scheme, and the one where the Rajya Sabha asks more than the Lok Sabha (288 vs 269). Note the inversions further down: PM-KUSUM draws three times more parliamentary attention than government publicity, while the Semiconductor Mission is the reverse.

A. Actively discussed & progress-monitored · 56 schemes

B. Some discussion, not sustained · 30 schemes

C. Announced, never questioned in either house · 10 schemes

Read this list honestly: most entries are 2025–26 launches — zero questions mostly means not yet, since Parliament has not had a full session cycle. The exception is PLI — White Goods: STILL running since 2021 with none subject-titled question in either house across four years of operation, though white-goods questions may hide under generic “PLI Scheme” subjects.

Method. Questions are captured by subject line only (a limitation of both houses' indexes), so zero captured questions is an upper bound on neglect, not proof of it. “Monitored” means Parliament keeps asking — whether the answers show progress is in the linked answer PDFs of the two registries, not in these counts. PIB counts include progress releases, not only launches; “first announced” is the scheme's first appearance in the register (which starts January 2017), so schemes older than 2017 show their first register mention, not their launch. Thresholds (≥10 questions, 12-month recency) are stated, tunable constants.
