Eliminate multidimensional poverty in five years, with welfare paid on time through DBT
“With the aim of completely eliminating multidimensional poverty in the state over the next five years, we will deliver social welfare benefits to the poor in a timely manner and through Direct Benefit Transfers.”
The verdict
The NITI Aayog MPI 2023 shows Goa's poor share falling by 2.92 points, but it uses NFHS-5 (2019-21) data from before this term. No post-2022 MPI estimate for Goa was found. Since March 2026, Griha Aadhar and DSSS payments are credited by the 10th of each month. Unrated.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
