Social Benefit Schemes Case Study: Hingoli District

Hingoli District

 Hingoli District ART Centre has 2439 Pre-ART registration from 2002 to June 2012. By analyzing the data from last three years it was evident that PLHIV in Hingoli district were unable to receive the benefit of social benefit schemes.

To provide these benefits to the PLHIV, DAPCU has prepared the town wise data of the PLHIV for social benefit scheme. DAPCU has also prepared the planning for special camp to provide benefit of social benefit scheme to PLHIV.

The following data-table shows the situation before the arrangement of Special Camps.

	Scheme wise Registration of PLHA – status prior to focused strategy
District	Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yogna	Balsangopan Yogna	Bus Concession Scheme	Ration Card Scheme	Special Nutritional Scheme
Hingoli	16	07	00	09	00

The town-wise PLHIV details and the benefits received by them was presented in the DAPCC meeting in the presence of Hon. District Collector. During the July 2012 DAPCC meeting, in the presence of Additional Collector this planning for Special Benefit Scheme Camp was sanctioned. DC ordered to give the letters to the concerned department head and advised them to complete the process from 27 August 2012 to 26 Sept 2012.

Communication about the responsibility allocation was sent to Tehsildar, District supply officer, District women & child welfare officer and District social justice officer. Drop in center was actively involved in communicating the message of special camps to PLHIV and also provided forms of social benefit scheme and supported PLHIV in preparing the application.

     The effect of Camps can be seen from the following table.  

	Scheme wise Registration of PLHA
District	Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yogna	Balsangopan Yogna	Bus Concession Scheme	Ration Card Scheme	Special Nutritional Scheme
Hingoli	196	49	190	27	61

The Tehsildar has contributed a lot in Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana by sending their representatives to the concern spots of camp and ZP Social Justice Officer has taken the great efforts for Bus concession.

This special benefit camp has established the pillar of self right’s in PLHA’s mind. DAPCU and DIC continued their efforts by sending beneficiaries forms to the concern department and by taking the follow up of the activities.
