अज्ञात गरीबों की खोज: अत्यधिक गरीबी में रहने वाले लोगों की पहचान और लक्ष्यीकरण

गरीबी के बारे में अलग-अलग अनुमानों के परिणामस्वरूप कुछ वंचित समुदाय अक्सर सरकारी कल्याण योजनाओं से बाहर रह जाते हैं। सबरवाल और चौधरी बिहार में लागू ‘सतत जीविकोपार्जन योजना’ का अध्ययन करते हैं, जिसमें अत्यधिक गरीबी में रहने वाले लोगों की पहचान करने और यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि उन्हें सामाजिक सुरक्षा योजनाओं तक पहुंच प्राप्त हो, बीआरएसी द्वारा अपनाए गए ‘ग्रेजुएशन अप्रोच’ कार्यप्रणाली के ज़रिए सामुदायिक ज्ञान का उपयोग किया जाता है। वे इस बात की चर्चा करते हैं कि यह लक्ष्यीकरण दृष्टिकोण किस तरह से गैर-मौद्रिक अभाव को ध्यान में रखता है और महिलाओं व अन्य हाशिए पर रहने वाले समूहों का समावेश सुनिश्चित करता है।

They discuss how this targeting approach takes into account non-monetary deprivation, and ensures the inclusion of women and marginalised groups.
