Our Assessment

No official Sharda Mehta Yojana launch order, eligibility rules, allocation or e-scooter deliveries were verified. Other vehicle-assistance schemes have different beneficiaries and do not establish delivery of this pledge.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

The manifesto specifies a new Sharda Mehta Yojana and free electric scooters for meritorious college-going women from financially weak households. Our review did not verify an official launch order, beneficiary criteria, budget or delivered scooters for this group. Assistance for other categories of riders is not equivalent. The government term is ongoing, and the absence of located records is not proof that no scooters were given. The commitment remains Pending until implementation can be verified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why low confidence?

The original commitment is clear, but implementation records and beneficiary data for this specific group are not available in the sources reviewed.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Government resolution or scheme guidelines for Sharda Mehta Yojana, or an equivalent scheme serving the same beneficiaries
  • Year-wise budgets, scooter purchases and delivery records
  • Number of eligible and actual women beneficiaries, with merit and income criteria

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
