Challenges

Madhu Babu Pension Yojana (MBPY)

• This is to be done at district level as it consumes a lot of time for processing / documentation.
• The address of the client is to be ensured during counseling. Sometimes the client provides his/her pseudo name and address.
• When the client resides most of the time out side / adjacent district / adjacent block for bread and butter.

 Mo Kudia Yojana (MKY)

• When a land less client is detected. These types of clients are benefited with MKY when they are linked with Mo Jami Mo Diha (MJMD) scheme.
• When Nomadic clients are detected.
• When Mother-in-law’s family debars a widow due to stigma/discrimination.

 Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY)

• Clarity on eligibility.
• Unavailability of Income certificate with the PLHA.

 Overall for obtaining consent from a PLHA is the pivotal challenge to get them access for any social benefit scheme.
