STATEMENT I

PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFYING AN URBAN POOR HOUSEHOLD FOR ECONOMIC BENEFITS.

As indicated, top priority should be given to those who are below the poverty line. However, certain non-economic parameters may also be considered for identifying a genuine beneficiary among urban poor of income generating special loan schemes under this programme. Seven non-economic parameters have been identified for this purpose. These are - living conditions comprising parameters (i) Roof , (ii) Floor, (iii) Water, (iv) Sanitation and (v) Educational level (vi) Type of Employment, and (vii) Status of Children in a house.

2. Each parameter consists of six attributes indicating the condition from 'worst to better'. Accordingly 'Weightage Score' has been assigned to each attribute i.e. from 100 (worst condition) to 0 (better condition). In other words, a beneficiary who has been assigned highest 'weightage score' as per norms given at Statement-1 among other urban poor, will be given top priority under the programme.

3. Statement - II* indicates different categories i.e. from top priority to lowest priority as per 'Weightage Score' to be assigned to a household/future beneficiary.

Example:

Suppose an urban poor has following attributes against the identified non-income parameters:

Parameter	Attributes	Weightage score to be assigned as per norms
(1) Roof	Asbestos	60
(2) Floor	Bajri	80
(3) Water	No water supply	100
(4) Sanitation	Community dry latrine	80
(5) Education level	Middle pass	60
(6) Type of Employment	Semi skilled	80
(7) Status of children in a house	working but attending literacy classes sometimes	80
	Total	540
Average Weightage score for a household = 540/7 = 77.1 i.e., future benificiary
*Statement - II suggests that a household with Average Weightage Score of 77.1 should be considered for the category of II Priority.

Statement II

Parameter	Weightage Score for Each Attribute
Parameter	100	80	60	40	20	0

NOTE : This a suggestive one, however the town UPF cell, in consultation, with CBOs concerned can develop another such type of parameters based on local condition/factors to identify he poorest of the poor in the town

Statement III

NON-ECONOMIC NORMS/CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING A BENEFICIARY AMONG URBAN POOR*

2. 60 - 80	II Priority
3. 40 - 60	III Priority
4. 20 - 40	IV Priority
5. 0 - 20	V Priority (Lowest Priority)
*This is in addition to the norms based on income parameters which envisage top priority to the household which is below poverty line.
