The biggest issue I experienced in India was that there are a lot of government schemes aimed at the rural poor and yet the people at whom the schemes are aimed often struggle to access them. One such scheme I personally saw people struggle to access was NREGA[1].
A social workers job in India is pretty much just going around and helping people fill out the correct forms. In many rural area there are people who sit outside of banks who's soul job is to fill out forms for those who cannot read or write.
One of the big challenges will just be telling people that they have access to such a scheme and helping them fill out the correct forms to access it.
