Dialogue partner, Patahi. The administration has started a comprehensive verification campaign with the aim of correcting the list of beneficiaries selected in the Patahi block area under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana. Under this campaign, 15 personnel have been deployed in all 15 Panchayats of the block, who will go door-to-door to thoroughly check the eligibility of a total of 20 thousand 450 beneficiaries selected on the basis of the survey.
The clear objective of the administration is that the benefits of the scheme should be limited only to genuine and needy families. Housing assistants, employment servants and Panchayat secretaries have been entrusted with the responsibility of this important verification work. These personnel will closely check all the parameters set by the department including the housing condition of the beneficiaries, financial condition of the family, availability of land and permanent house.
On the basis of evidence at every point during verification, it will be decided whether the concerned family is eligible or ineligible for the scheme. Block Development Officer Uday Kumar said that clear instructions have been given to all the deputed personnel regarding the verification work.
He said that the work should be done with complete honesty, transparency and fairness, so that no ineligible person gets the benefit of the scheme nor any genuine poor family is deprived.
BDO also informed that detailed information about departmental parameters related to eligibility of PM Awas Yojana has already been made available to all the employees. With this, no confusion will arise during door-to-door investigation and the decision will be completely based on facts.
BDO has given strict instructions to the employees that any kind of negligence, arbitrariness or partiality will not be tolerated in the verification work. If any irregularity or irregularities are found at any level during the investigation, strict departmental action will be taken against the concerned personnel.
He said that this verification campaign will make the list of PM Awas Yojana completely transparent and error-free.
