Our Assessment

The manifesto promised continued implementation of free ration under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana for five years. The Union government extended free foodgrain distribution from 1 January 2024 for five years with an approved food-subsidy outlay of about Rs 11.80 lakh crore. Rajasthan’s Economic Review 2025-26 records 4.38 crore NFSA beneficiaries as of 1 December 2025 and reports that 18.76 lakh metric tonnes of wheat had been provided during 2025-26 up to December. The core benefit, beneficiary group and five-year delivery period therefore directly match the manifesto commitment. Because this is a continuing benefit that is actively being maintained rather than a one-time completed output, the appropriate verdict is ongoing. Budget: The five-year PMGKAY food-subsidy outlay is about Rs 11.80 lakh crore and is fully funded by the Union government; Rajasthan also reports verified foodgrain distribution during 2025-26.
