Identification of BPL Families

Identification of BPL Families

In order to ensure that the benefits under developmental programmes/welfare schemes of the Government reach the eligible beneficiaries, the list of people living below the poverty line should be available with the Gram Panchayat and various Government departments. To enlist the details of families living below poverty line, the Union Ministry of Rural Development undertakes periodical surveys through DRDA. This survey will take in to consideration of 13 parameters which include land holding of each family, type of house they are residing in, number of clothing they have, food security, sanitation, food consumption patterns, literacy levels, labour force, means of livelihood, number of children, indebtedness, reasons for migration etc. As per the BPL survey rules the list of people living below poverty line should be placed in Gram Sabhas to confirm the list of families living below the poverty line. Since the list of people living below the poverty line is based on the information obtained from door to door enumeration, Gram Sabha is the forum which can debate on the genuineness of the information and can ensure that no body drops from the list who or otherwise eligible. As the selection of beneficiaries under various programmes will be done based on the BPL list, the grampanchayat should ensure that, the people attend the gramsabha in large numbers.
