BISP National Poverty Survey in December

By Sharafat • Nov 6th, 2009 • Category: Misc • 2 Comments

The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) will start its National Poverty Survey in 21 districts by the end of December to identify more deserving families.

BISP Chairperson Farzana Raja said that the programme would benefit five million families by June 2010 and efforts were continuing to reach the maximum number of people. Initially, the pilot project of the poverty survey was conducted in 15 districts and 2.5 million families were identified. She said that Nadra had been directed to complete the verification process of these families to provide them assistance under the programme.

Farzana said that the Benazir Smart Card would be issued to people in the districts where the survey had been completed to make the programme transparent. She said that workers of 20 post offices had been dismissed on charges of corruption and strict action had been taken against those found involved in embezzlement. The beneficiaries will also be provided accident and health insurance besides imparting vocational and technical training to one member of the family.

Giving details about the relaxation in the BISP conditions, she said the board of directors had agreed to relax its conditions with regard to differences in addresses in the National Identity Cards (NICs), the BISP forms and account holders. Over 500,000 faulty applications received under the BISP will be reprocessed, which aim at providing maximum assistance to deserving families after complete verification.

  1. They are distributing 1000 rs for a family of 8 to 10 people for one month.
    They can just take the data of any beggar family and they would know that the earnings are more than this in one month lucrative package.
    Even if their six of family member would go for daily wages jobs they have more income than this tiny tiny amount.
    Farzana raja daily get up including her new dresses with two shawls, make over, dress accessories are approximately more than 10000 per day.
