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 the Mukhyamantri Free Diagnostic Scheme with a corpus of ₹110 crore to provide free-of-cost diagnostic services in all government health institutions and empanelled laboratories for EWS households.”

Our Assessment
Free diagnostics operate in government facilities through the pre-existing Mukhyamantri Nidan Yojana. A March 2026 announcement proposed expanding the free-test menu from 71 to 134. These services count as relevant delivery regardless of programme name. The promised ₹110-crore corpus, full government-institution availability and free EWS access through empanelled laboratories remain unverified. An announced test list is not evidence of availability at every facility.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Government diagnostics support partial delivery; the corpus and full access remain unverified.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Identifiable delivery or administrative action is documented, but full scope or coverage remains unverified.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Corpus notification, releases and expenditure
- Facility test availability, EWS rules and empanelled laboratory service records
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
