Due to sever cold-wave and poverty, the BWHC selected the most vulnerable population preferring particularly, the women under specific criteria. Objective of this distribution was to reduce the vulnerability of the cold-stricken poor people.
Major criteria for selecting of these older families were: minimum one person has to be more than 60 years of old in the family; there were other criteria as well e.g. socio-economic condition- poor & underprivileged, persons with disability, persons from the minority community and persons from schedule cast (lowest grade population of the society), persons affected by natural disaster etc.
