Abstract

A central committee recently proposed to the rural development ministry a three-tier system to identify people living below poverty line (bpl) in villages. The system, which includes divisions on caste and religion, aims to include the "poorest and the most vulnerable" and exclude a few (see box). The committee has also proposed to award points to those who do not belong to either of the categories to decide if they make it to the bpl list.
