Impact Assessment of the District Poverty Initiative Project Rajasthan

Households and DPIP Sub-projects
It was enquired whether the village received any benefit from DPIP program, with the
exception of Dausa where 16.1 percent APL households reported that they have not benefited
from DPIP intervention, in all other cases across the districts benefits of DPIP have gone to
the village (table 3.9). Of course, not many have gained from DPIP groups directly. What is
the response of BPL households Majority across the district reported that village has
benefited from DPIP sub-projects, while there is mixed picture when we look at DPIP groups.
The gains are better compared to APL families and that is what the project was expected to
achieve.
