Study of Impact of Schemes Implemented by the Department of Social Justice on Beneficiaries of Below Poverty Line Families from a Social Work Perspective

Abstract

This study examines the impact of various schemes implemented by the Department of Social Justice on Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, focusing on social work perspectives. It aims to assess the effectiveness of these schemes in improving the socio-economic conditions of the beneficiaries. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews, the study evaluates how well the schemes address the needs of BPL families, identifies gaps in service delivery, and suggests areas for improvement. The findings indicate that while certain schemes have significantly uplifted the beneficiaries, others require enhanced outreach and better implementation strategies. This study evaluates the impact of various schemes implemented by the Department of Social Justice on Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, focusing on social work perspectives. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews to assess the effectiveness of these schemes in improving the socio-economic conditions of the beneficiaries. The findings reveal that while certain schemes have significantly uplifted the beneficiaries by enhancing economic stability, education access, and health conditions, others face challenges such as limited awareness, inconsistent implementation, and inadequate resource allocation. The study highlights the importance of community-based approaches, increased collaboration between governmental and non-governmental organizations, and robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Recommendations include developing targeted awareness campaigns, streamlining administrative processes, increasing funding, and engaging local communities in scheme planning and implementation. The study aims to inform policymakers and stakeholders, providing actionable insights to enhance the effectiveness of social justice schemes and better achieve socio-economic upliftment for BPL families.
