Welfare is  the  provision  of  a  minimal  level  of well-being and social support for all citizens, sometimes referred to as public aid. 

In  most  developed  countries  welfare  is  largely provided  by  the  government,  and  to  a  lesser extent, charities,  informal  social  groups,  religious  groups, and inter-governmental organizations. 

In karnataka, there are many welfare schemes. In that some are popular like Anna bhagya, ksheera bhagya etc.
