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 spend ₹1 lakh crore under the Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana 2.0 for the all-round socio-economic development of tribals, under this, we will: • Construct 2.5 lakh houses to improve the standard of living of tribals • Ensure the complete eradication of malnutrition among tribals • Modernise 4,000 schools in tribal talukas, upgrading them into Schools of Excellence • Set up 240 new Primary Health Care centres in all tribal districts • Ensure that every tribal village has all-weather pucca roads and an adequate drainage system • Upgrade small bridges/causeways to provide all weather connectivity”

Our Assessment
Vanbandhu 2.0 is active, with substantial budget provisions and delivered tribal benefits. The Governor's February 2026 address reports ₹22,025.81 crore provided in 2024–25 and ₹30,120.96 crore in 2025–26. The 2025–26 budget speech describes cumulative allocations approaching ₹1 lakh crore over a window beginning in 2021–22, before this manifesto. Allocation is not actual spending, and no audited post-election expenditure ledger reconciles the promised ₹1 lakh crore. Housing, nutrition, school modernisation, PHCs, village roads/drainage and small bridges are also assessed separately as the package's distinct components. Their full numerical and universal endpoints remain unverified. The financial and development package remains Partially Done; the expenditure numerator is unknown, so no completion percentage is shown.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Budgeted resources and beneficiary services establish implementation, but neither actual ₹1-lakh-crore spending during the relevant period nor all six physical and social endpoints have been established.
State budget provisions and delivered tribal benefits show the programme is active. The ₹1 lakh-crore allocation window began in 2021–22, before this manifesto; a cumulative post-election actual-expenditure ledger was not verified. Do not equate allocations with spending or combine unrelated Union schemes.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Official state records establish provisions and some beneficiary delivery, but do not provide a comparable audited expenditure total against this manifesto pledge.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Year-wise actual Vanbandhu 2.0 expenditure from 2022–23 onward, with the 2021–22 baseline separated
- An audited reconciliation of expenditure against the manifesto's ₹1 lakh-crore pledge
- Physical outcomes for the named housing, school, PHC, road and nutrition components
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
