Raise Anganwadi and ASHA pay to ₹15,000 and provide insurance
· Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024
Last updated 25 Oct 2026
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
“Raise Anganwadi and ASHA workers' pay to ₹15,000 monthly and provide insurance.”
Our Assessment
ASHA life and accident insurance is documented, but these protections predate the election. July 2026 reporting puts Anganwadi honorarium at ₹13,000. The sources reviewed do not establish ₹15,000 monthly pay and insurance coverage for both worker groups; duty-death grants are distinct from insurance policies.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Existing ASHA insurance supports part of the bundled promise; a new universal pay rate and coverage for both groups are not verified.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Official ASHA protections and reporting of a ministerial reply support partial delivery; full pay orders and insurance coverage for both groups remain unverified.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Government pay orders and payment records for both groups at ₹15,000, plus applicable insurance policies and enrolment evidence.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
