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 construct 50 new Samras Hostels to provide state-of-the-art living facilities to meritorious school students from marginalised castes and classes.”

Our Assessment

Samras hostels provide free boarding and lodging, and 2026 admissions were reported across 12 cities. This verifies a functioning residential-education service. The society and much of its network predate the manifesto, while the official portal focuses on higher-education students. Neither 50 additional hostels since the pledge nor the promised school-student coverage has been established.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Relevant services are verified, but material elements of the commitment remain unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Official or corroborated reporting supports related delivery, but coverage or the promised expansion is incompletely documented.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Hostels commissioned after November 2022, capacity, school-student eligibility and occupancy
