DAPSC — Earmarked Funds for Scheduled Castes
DAPSC, the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Castes, is the rule under which central ministries set aside part of their own scheme budgets for Scheduled Caste welfare; it was earlier called the Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan. It is in the news because a Rajya Sabha reply of 9 August 2026 showed that actual spending fell short of revised estimates in every year from 2020-21 to 2025-26.
