Implementation of Ashraya starts with community based identification of destitute families by Kudumbashree ADS. The ADS identifies the destitutes through the Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs). After identification and verification by CDS, the Grama Panchayat approves the list. Micro plans are prepared for the rehabilitation of each destitute person or family. These micro plans are consolidated at the CDS level to make the CDS level plan. Responsibilities of various components have been clearly assigned for the smooth implementation of the plans.
