Provide employment to five lakh youth in five years
“प्रदेश में कुल पांच लाख युवाओं को रोजगार दिलवाया जाएगा।”English: “A total of five lakh youth in the state will be provided employment.”
The verdict
In September 2026 the minister claimed 1,60,729 employment opportunities had been created across sectors, about a third of five lakh, without a public breakdown; he also gave the state unemployment rate as 6.5%. The claim is the government's own and is not independently verified.
Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
