What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will launch a welfare package for the victims of the 1984 riots, under which pension for widows will be increased from ₹2,500 to ₹5,000, loans will be provided at concessional rates to create self-employment opportunities, and scholarships will be provided for school and university students.”
Our Assessment
The government has acted on 1984-victim rehabilitation: a compassionate-employment policy for victims’ dependants was approved in November 2025 and appointment letters were distributed to 125+ families through 2025. However, the specific package components in this commitment — widow pension raised from ₹2,500 to ₹5,000, concessional self-employment loans and student scholarships — have not been separately verified.
