Our Assessment

Gujarat's 2026–27 Development Programme says the Farmer Accident Insurance Scheme was enhanced for incidents from 1 April 2025. It provides ₹4 lakh for accidental death or permanent total disability of eligible farmer-family members, exceeding the manifesto's ₹3-lakh cover target. Partial disability can receive ₹2 lakh, so the ₹4-lakh figure does not apply to every claim. The delivered increase in core accident cover is sufficient to mark this promise Fulfilled.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why fulfilled?

The manifesto sought ₹3 lakh in farmer accident cover. State programme records show operational cover of ₹4 lakh for accidental death or total disability for incidents on or after 1 April 2025. The promised level has therefore been surpassed for the central covered outcome.

The state's current farmer accident scheme delivers ₹4 lakh for accidental death or total disability, above the promised ₹3 lakh.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why high confidence?

The state government's 2026–27 Development Programme states the effective date, eligibility, coverage amount and implementing agency.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Claims paid and beneficiaries at the revised ₹4-lakh level, by year
  • The scheme order confirming current coverage and exclusions
