While reviewing the identification of beneficiaries out of RHS in different blocks I am surprised to come across lots of queries from field officers, which needs to be clarified at GP level. Some of the queries and their answers are :-
- BPL list finalised and published by the administration is subjected to modifications/ changes by GPs unauthorisedly, thereby inviting complaints, which are difficult to be handled by Blocks. What can be done in such cases?
- Answer is supply of updated BPL list of each sansad to GPs duly authenticated on each page by block office with official seal, page certificate on top sheet. Family details of BPL families must also be supplied. GP must be asked to keep one xerox copy in the office for perusal of public. Members from public and elected members of PRIs may be offered copies on payment of cost basis for transparency. CD may also be supplied to GPs in the format which is read only.
- There are errors in the BPL family particulrs like name and title of members, non inclusion of name of genuine family member eg mother in the RHS, age is incorrectly noted in database, sansad missing, sansads of one GP incorporated in another GP due to technical error etc. Can such errors be rectified? How?
- All corrections in the RHS against the final database can be allowed through software except addition or deletion of households or modification of score. There is no approval required to rectify the obvious errors like title, age, name of the other family members in the RHS provided that it is done at the BDO's end after verifying the authentiated document in claim of correct title, age, name of the family member, may be after conducting field enquiry by Govt staff. However, in case of addition of family in RHS or deletion the database needs prior approval of Govt. All corrections as referred above should be sent to district for validation and updation of database.
