The survey report is displayed in the prominent places of the Panchayat and the BPL list was placed in the Gram sabha for approval. The Gram sabha had problems in accepting the list but it had the power to include the eligible case and delete the ineligible ones All the BPL household, having no houses are listed in the permanent waitlist and this has been again displayed before the approval of Gram Sabha.
