Poverty is a state subject and it is the responsibility of any government
to take measures to reduce and remove it. The Constitution of India as
well as some well-thought out and made policies of the government have
formed many schemes and programmes towards welfare and relief of its poor
and backward population, and have also set parameters and standards for
this purpose. Therefore, it is the right of the deserving poor people
to obtain the benefits of such schemes and programmes. There are programmes
developed by central government and those developed by the state government.
However, historically these schemes and programmes have not reached to
the deserving people due to the faulty delivery system, adverse attitudes
of the officials involved, and the lack of awareness and 'push' in the
deserving communities. |

|
In order that the deserving people obtain the benefits of these schemes
and programmes, DISHA has been working actively upon it. During the year
our workers attached with our different groups and organizations brought
awareness about the nitty-gritty of these schemes among the people. They
also helped the people on obtaining the necessary forms, necessary documents,
in carrying out the required procedures and following up with the concerned
departments of the government. The workers helped people obtain the benefits
of the following schemes and programmes during the year: |
