Conduct a statewide skill census
Bharatiya Janata Party · 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
“Conduct a statewide skill census to identify gaps between available skills and industry requirements.”
Our Assessment
Mumbai Suburban launched the Saksham Skill Survey in March 2026, and August reporting describes results from nearly 60,000 households. This demonstrates local implementation. A completed statewide skill census and published Maharashtra-wide findings remain unverified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
A district-led survey has been launched and reported results, establishing partial progress. Its local coverage does not fulfil the statewide pledge.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The district government's site confirms Saksham Skill Census 2026, public-broadcaster reporting establishes the launch, and August reporting gives the local results. The evidence does not establish statewide completion.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- A statewide census order and methodology, district-wise completed coverage, validated employer-demand mapping and published Maharashtra-wide findings.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
