In Tisa block, Chamba, the updated BPL framework is enabling a broader inclusion of low-income families, with applications accepted until January 25. This follows amendments aimed at capturing more accurate poverty data.
From an initial count of 9,424 BPL households, 878 were incorporated in the inaugural revision stage. The ongoing second stage focuses on 1,368 new families, paving the way for a third round soon. Such phased implementation ensures comprehensive coverage.
BDO Arvind Kumar detailed the process: ‘We verify every applicant against inclusion benchmarks—covering earnings, possessions, utilities—while excluding those who don’t qualify.’ The exercise upholds utmost fairness per government guidelines.
He implored residents: ‘Visit your panchayat office promptly with documents before the deadline.’ Late filers risk missing out on essential subsidies and schemes.
Reflecting state priorities, this initiative seeks to channel aid precisely where needed most. As awareness spreads, Tisa’s underprivileged are poised to gain substantially from enhanced welfare outreach.
