Gaps and inconsistencies in the source
Beneficiary count does not reconcile: 718 is stated as the total, but the block-level breakdown (118+123+205+230) sums to only 676 — a gap of 42. Separately, ₹1050 lakh ÷ ₹0.734266 lakh ≈ 1,430 families, matching neither figure.
Geographic inconsistency: the objectives name "Shahapur and Pen", but the current-status breakdown reports Karjat, Khalapur, Shahapur and Murbad — Pen is absent and three other blocks appear instead.
The "Villages Covered" field is blank in the source itself — the figure is simply missing.
The abbreviation "EAGL" is never expanded on the page or anywhere else in the files examined.
