Food and shelter access
· 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
“Ensure food and shelter for everyone.”
Our Assessment
The Food Department reports 24.95 lakh additional NFSA beneficiaries. Housing delivery continues, but Parliament records unfinished urban homes and PIB reports a substantial rural completion gap. These schemes include pre-election activity and do not establish food and shelter for everyone. No universal-coverage percentage is verified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Expanded food-security enrolment and documented housing delivery show partial implementation, while housing gaps and universal food access remain unresolved.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Primary government records document implementation; the broad statewide outcome is not fully measured.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Post-election delivery totals and a current statewide assessment of households lacking adequate food or shelter.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
