Not all BPL households are really in category <strong>of</strong> poor households. Investigators reported that <strong>the</strong>re better <strong>of</strong>f<br />

households in BPL category. Table 2.4 shows that a large percentage <strong>of</strong> households are really BPL households<br />

and this proportion varies from a low <strong>of</strong> 79.0 percent in Tonk to a high <strong>of</strong> 98.48 percent in Rajsamand. In all <strong>the</strong><br />

districts 90.1 percent CIG member households is really BPL as per <strong>the</strong> perception <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> investigator. In case <strong>of</strong><br />

non-CIG member households, <strong>the</strong> proportions vary between a minimum <strong>of</strong> 71.86 percent in Dholpur and a<br />

maximum <strong>of</strong> 88.81 percent in Churu. The overall proportion for all districts is 79.52 percent. This shows that<br />

non BPL households also try to enlist <strong>the</strong>mselves as BPL households in order to get <strong>the</strong> benefits.<br />
