Selecting beneficiaries under various pension schemes

Selecting beneficiaries under various pension schemes

Selection of beneficiaries for Social Security Schemes like old age pensions, Disabled pensions, Pension for Widows, Pensions for handloom workers etc should be done through Gram Sabha. The G.O No. 83 dated 27.03.2006 and Memo no. 24235 /RDII/2006 dated 5.2.2007 issued by the AP State Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Department clearly defined the role of Gram Sabha in selecting the beneficiaries under these schemes. After careful inspection of all requests for sanction of pension received within the stipulated time period by the Gram Panchayat, the Panchayat Secretary should prepare the list of eligible pensioners. The list so prepared should be read out to the members of INDIRAMMA Committee and after duly registering the observations of the Committee and should later be placed before Gram Sabha for approval. Gram Sabha can suggest changes/alterations in the list after keen observation of the list. Gram Sabha can propose the names of eligible beneficiaries who are not included in the list. The Mandal Parishad Development Officer will sanction pensions to all those beneficiaries who are finalized by the Gram Sabha. In order to utilize the 100% saturation concept under this pension scheme, it has to be ensured that the members of gramsabha would attend in large mumbers and enlist all the eligible beneficiaries for various pensions after due deliberations.
