Delivery mechanism of basic social services has been one of the fundamental issues in determining the success or failure of poverty alleviation programmes, including social safety programmes in the country. Instead of problems of ineffective delivery of services being implicated at the level of macro policies, much of such problems rest at lower level of administration. This article looks at the problems related to the delivery of social security pensions in eight towns in MP. The article concludes that the responsibility of delivery of social security pensions should be given to local and decentralised structures with fundamental changes in the system of sanctioning and disbursement of pensions. - Reproduced.
