- W99376250 abstract "While the estimation of poverty at the national level and at the state level is done from time to time by the Planning Commission, periodic censuses to identify those households that subsist below the deemed poverty line have been conducted by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) of the central government. The purpose of these censuses has been to identify the below the poverty line (BPL) households living in the rural areas who could be targeted under its programmes.1 This census has been carried out in each of the states of India three times (1992, 1997 and 2002) in the last 17 years, and each time the methodology used has been different, because each time it has been recognised that the methodology that was used earlier was seriously flawed. It is now time to conduct another such census, which is expected to be carried out in the latter half of 2009. This paper proposes a methodology that hopefully will address the many large-scale exclusion and inclusion errors that have resulted from the previous three censuses, causing widespread discontent and injustice.2 The BPL list is of enormous practical importance to both central and state government officials and the rural population at large. This is because the central government uses it to identify the recipients of a series of MoRD programmes. The department of rural development is implementing a self-employment programme, i e, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY), under which the rural poor are organi sed into self-help groups, assisted for capacity-building and provided financial assistance to set up economic activity through a mix of credit and subsidy. The objective is to provide economic assets to BPL families so that they get an incremental income on a sustainable basis. Similarly, Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), is a rural housing programme under which financial assistance is provided to the BPL families for constructing houses. Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOaPS) has now been extended to all the BPL households having members of the age of 65 years and above. Further, the department of drinking water supply is implementing a total sanitation campaign programme under which the BPL rural households are provided with financial assistance for construction of toilets. Most importantly, the BPL list is used to give ration cards to beneficiaries who access the targeted public distribution system (TPDS) – which entitles them to a 35 kg ration of wheat or rice, depending upon the state. Further, state governments also used this database for variously targeting several schemes and services to the poor. These include maternity benefits and insurance paid at the death of a breadwinner of BPL families. Some states even require BPL cards for accessing free medicines, hospitalisation or medical investigations in government hospitals. Despite repeated directions, including of courts, to not use BPL The Census of 2002 to identify the poor in rural areas of India was the third in a quinquennial series. However, it has been appropriately criticised. This paper elaborates on the criticisms, and proposes an alternative set of criteria and methodology for conducting the next (now overdue) census of the rural population to identify the poor." @default.
