When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Kerala experienced significant changes in its social welfare system for people living below the poverty line. Before 1997, nearly 95% of Kerala's families held a ration card and were able to reap the benefits of the Public Distribution System (PDS). The beneficiaries were 'equitably spread across income groups in both rural and urban areas.' Fair price shops were conveniently located in both urban and rural spaces, and 'no individual needed to walk more than 2 km' to access rice and wheat. The PDS system of Kerala was among the most effective in the entire nation and as a result, Kerala was among the top states in lowering overall poverty.
In 1997, the Indian government changed the PDS to focus on the poorest families; PDS became Targeted PDS. The government issued new cards to families living below the poverty line and restricted access to the fair price shops to the beneficiaries of the TDPS only. While the BPL counted 25% of Kerala's families as eligible for the PDS, the Kerala government identified 42% of the population as poor households and beneficiaries of the BPL. Due to this discrepancy, the state itself provided subsidies from its own budget. But due to the new schemes, constant changes and variance in prices led to confusion among the beneficiaries. With higher food prices for people living above the poverty line, many ration shops lost business. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Below_Poverty_Line

2. Акцент на “продовольствии” сильно сужает тему:
BPL Card – is issued to Uttar Pradesh natives with an annual income of less than INR 10000. The essential commodities provided to the cardholder on this ration card basis come at a highly subsidised price.

The people whose monthly income is less than INR 10,000 are provided the BPL (Below Poverty Level) card. People get the facilities issued by the government like fuel, food, and other things on the basis of the ration card which they have.

Death registration was less likely among households without a below poverty level card = Случаи смерти были менее вероятны в домохозяйствах, не являющихся обладателями карточек BPL (иными словами, не зарегистрированных как живущие за чертой бедности)
строго говоря, речь о регистрации смерти “членов домохозяйств, живущих за чертой бедности”, т.е. держателей карт BPL, как бы они не назывались.
(По поводу керосина спорить не буду, дело вкуса...))
или “пайковая карточка живущего за чертой бедности”, т.к. ее держатели получают не только продуты питания.
The BPL card facilitates 10 litres of kerosene and food articles,including rice,wheat,and sugar at a subsidised rate to the beneficiaries.
