TNPDS Official website :

Tamil Nadu state follows the universal TNPDS website where categorisations like Below Poverty Line (BPL) and Above Poverty Line (APL) do not exist. However, the Tamil Nadu government has discovered AAY and currently has 18 63,185 beneficiaries of AAY.

Such an initiatory was taken in charge since poverty is a relative concept. There is no acceptable criterion or methodology for error-free reckoning, as the indexing method is also not defect-free.

TNPDS WEBSITE Structure of TNPDS:
