What does this status mean?
Implementation is progressing towards the commitment.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will expand Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana and provide free skill development training.”
Our Assessment
On Track. Free training and toolkit support are being delivered, and the state's September 2026 update documents expansion to 25 trades under Vishwakarma Shram Samman 2.0. Beneficiaries received toolkits at the 17 September launch, alongside the new loan portal. This supports continuing implementation of the promise to expand training, rather than a completed endpoint. Statewide outcomes across the expanded trades are not yet independently verified. Previous review (2026-06-10): Delivered as a continuing scheme commitment. Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana is an active Uttar Pradesh programme for traditional artisans and workers, including training and support components. Because the promise is to expand and provide free skill-development training, it is marked fulfilled with medium confidence.
