Recruit 25,000 women police personnel
· 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
“Recruit 25,000 women into the police force to strengthen women's safety.”
Our Assessment
Police recruitment is underway, and Nagpur's May 2026 final selection list includes women. The sources reviewed do not establish how many women have been appointed statewide since the election, or delivery of the 25,000 target. Final selections and total police vacancies are not counted as completed women’s appointments.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Women are included in an official final selection list from the current recruitment cycle, demonstrating meaningful implementation. Statewide completed appointments against the 25,000 commitment remain unverified.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Official selection records establish recruitment activity but do not establish joining dates or a cumulative women-only appointment count since the election.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Statewide women-only appointment and joining totals since the government took office, with recruitment dates and no duplication
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
