<Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> If you have a pucca house, a two - wheeler, a fan...you are ineligible . The pucca house could have been in your family for generations and is not necessarily a reflection of your present situation . There was a government scheme once in which girls were given cycles to ensure they went to schools . Because the girls had a cycle they were not counted as BPL </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> <P> Corruption in the system allows those ineligible to gain benefits of the BPL status . A chain of corruption exists between the Government officer to the government appointed retailer resulting in grain and fuel been diverted to the black market </P> <P> In some places, it has been reported that for the sake of their votes, some corrupt MLA's and officials made government employees gain benefits under BPL scheme . An approach to combat corruption is to attempt linkage with Aadhar </P> <P> Central Government took a departure from the earlier practice of getting surveys conducted by the rural development machinery of different State Governments, for identification of families below the poverty line . The earlier practice, of identifying a single set of target families for all developmental programmes, has been done away with . This was partly necessitated by an interim stay order given by the Supreme Court for 10th and 11th five year plans. The trend is now increasingly to have development schemes run on the principle of universalisation or saturation or self - selection . This means following a priority list for each scheme, rather than following a single list of identified families for all schemes . For example, the people who put in manual work under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act need not belong to families below the poverty line . Whoever is within the specified age bracket and is willing to get enrolled, can get covered . Similarly, the beneficiaries under National Food Security Act are identified by the State / UT Governments, with the ceiling / coverage under TPDS determined for each State / UT by the central Government . This list of families can be different from the priority list used for rural housing programmes under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Grameen), which runs on the basis of whether a person has or does not have a pucca house, based on SECC survey of 2011 . Similarly, the rural electrification programme Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana had the concept of below poverty line families . But the new approach of Soubhagya scheme is to make no discrimination based on the poverty line, but to go on the basis of households that do not have electricity connection . In the maternity benefit scheme renamed as Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, there is automatic and universal coverage, without any mention of whether a pregnant woman is below the poverty line or not . (See Ministry of Women and Child Development at http://www.wcd.nic.in/sites/default/files/PMMVY%20Scheme%20Implemetation%20Guidelines%20._0.pdf) However, there is still lack of clarity on fully integrating SECC data of 2011 with old age pension / widow pension / disability pension schemes . This is because the guidelines of National Social Assistance Programme still speak about list of families below the poverty line . (See http://nsap.nic.in/Guidelines/nsap_guidelines_oct2014.pdf) Thus, by and large, the present position is that while SECC database of 2011 provides a basic skeleton, each developmental scheme is now run independently based on the necessity, rather than getting bogged down to one single list of targeted families . </P>
