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
“Cow dung will be bought from cattle-rearers at Rs 2 per kg, and arrangements will be made at the panchayat level to convert this dung into vermicompost.”
Our Assessment
Evidence correction, reviewed 29 September 2026. The earlier pending assessment missed documented procurement activity. ABP's 30 December 2024 report described an initial programme involving 100 farmers across ten districts, purchasing prepared manure at Rs 3/kg rather than raw dung at the promised Rs 2/kg. A 23 December 2025 state release also identified cow-dung purchasing among government initiatives. This supports limited implementation, but does not verify a statewide raw-dung purchase entitlement or vermicompost facilities at every panchayat. Changed from pending to partial; the older evidence is newly incorporated, not presented as a September 2026 launch.
