Our Assessment
Namo Lakshmi and Namo Saraswati provide substantial targeted education support. The April 2026 government-reported update describes ₹50,000 assistance over Classes 9–12 under Namo Lakshmi and continued science-stream support. Earlier official records verify scholarship payments. These benefits count as real help toward the promise, but do not establish free education for every female student across kindergarten, school, undergraduate and postgraduate study. Universal coverage and the covered fees still require verification.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Verified scholarship delivery provides partial education-cost support, while universal free KG–PG education is not established.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
A government release verifies scholarship disbursement, but no statewide order or coverage data establishes universal free KG–PG education for girls.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- A statewide order specifying free KG–PG education for all female students and covered costs
- Year-wise female enrolment and beneficiaries by education stage, including undergraduate and postgraduate
- Evidence that fees and mandatory charges were waived or reimbursed for all eligible girls
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
