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
“Equip all educational institutions with a sanitary napkin vending machine and provide sanitary napkins free of cost.”

Our Assessment
TOI reported in 2023 that 8,000 sanitary-napkin vending machines would be installed in government schools for Classes 9-12, colleges and women's hostels. That is meaningful progress, but it does not cover all educational institutions and the reported model charged Rs 5 for a pair of napkins rather than free supply. This is partial. Budget status: installation plan exists, but no full free-napkin allocation was isolated.
