Headline manifesto commitments of the current government, with a sourced status. We track only whether each promise was kept — not its merits.
Restart iron ore mining within six months
After a 12-year halt, Goa auctioned mineral blocks and signed a mine development agreement in March 2024; Vedanta began actual extraction at Bicholim Block I in April 2024. As of mid-2025 only about three of the auctioned blocks were operational, with others awaiting environment and forest clearances.
Three free LPG cylinders per year to every household
The cabinet announced the scheme in March 2022 to start from April 2022, but it was not rolled out universally; CM Pramod Sawant later said it would be limited to low-income groups and admitted the scheme had been delayed, drawing opposition criticism.
Monthly cash assistance to homemaker women (Griha Aadhar)
The Griha Aadhar scheme, run by the Directorate of Women & Child Development, pays eligible married, divorced and widowed women aged 18+ Rs 1,500 per month directly into bank accounts; the amount has stood at Rs 1,500 since September 2016 and remained unchanged through the 2022 term.
Increase social security pension to Rs 3,000 (Dayanand Social Security Scheme)
The Dayanand Social Security Scheme (Amendment) 2024, notified 26 December 2024, raised assistance to Rs 2,000/month for most categories (senior citizens, single women, disabled), Rs 2,500 for childless widows and Rs 3,500 for persons with 90%+ disability, rather than a uniform Rs 3,000 for all beneficiaries.
