The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes comprise about 16.6 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively, of India's population (Census of India, 2011). The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950 lists 1,108 castes across 25 states in its First Schedule, and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 lists 744 tribes across 22 states in its First Schedule. In Haryana, about 19.3 per cent population is Scheduled Caste, of which a majority (78.5 per cent) is residing in rural areas. Present study was conducted in Hisar District of Haryana state, purposively. Five villages having predominately large number of Scheduled Caste population were selected. Forty women from each village (total 200) were selected randomly. Well structured pre-tested interview schedules were developed for respondents. Social status on various parameters was perceived as improved and slightly improvement by most of respondents. Maximum impact was seen in terms of education (2.58) followed by health and sanitation (2.48), community action (2.45) and miscellaneous (2.35). Regarding economic impact maximum impact was observed in terms of ‘assets’ (2.71) followed by ‘income’ (2.43), ‘information search’ (2.19) and ‘employment’ (2.13). Majority of respondents were satisfied with the schemes, yet some were dissatisfied as they did not get full benefit of the schemes
