Our Assessment

Gujarat opened 101 new Shramik Annapurna food-distribution centres on 16 October 2026, expanding a ₹5 meal service for registered construction workers and families. This is relevant delivery even under a worker-focused programme. The service predates the manifesto, and the new report does not establish three meals daily or access for the wider poor population. The complete canteen commitment remains partially delivered.
