🧵 on the 72% of 906 central schemes the govt cut funds for, including National Fellowship for SCs, PM AASHA, PM Kisan Maan Dhan and Health Infrastructure, among others:

This is a really important analysis exposing the Modi government's remarkable ability to announce and claim credit for welfare schemes that it then underfunds, ignores and allows to wither away.

It is saddening that under the BJP Government, 71.9% of 906 central schemes faced funding cuts - many welfare & infrastructure schemes were slashed despite big promises. This is described as 'billboard governance' by a data based report. For instance, the PM Karam Yogi Maan Dhan

🚨 The reality of Modi’s schemes beyond managed headlines: Announced with a bang, a slew of schemes now gasp for funds.

One in every five central schemes got funds less than half of what the govt initially promised!

Billboard Governance: Modi government underfunded 72% of 906 central schemes in its last tenure. One out of every five schemes got less than half the funds promised. Read the story by Navya Asopa & Shreegireesh Jalihal.

Billboard Governance: Modi gov't ran 906 central schemes. But it starved 72% of them for funds. 1/5th ran at less than half the budget. Many were repackaged & renamed.

My the reporters' collective colleagues Navya Asopa & Shreegireesh Jalihal pierce through data + records.

When admin takes away students’ right to show their solidarity, it is profs who can fill the gap-- so proud of my professors today and everyday.

#RealityCheck : Modi announced PM AASHA as a historic scheme to help double farmers' income. But then his government pumped money into the scheme only during election years.

My the reporters' collective colleagues Shreegireesh Jalihal and Navya Asopa investigate.

A key Modi govt scheme, launched to help double farmers income, got funds only around 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Govt spent ₹0 in between. Instead, a UPA-era scheme did the heavy lifting for ensuring farmers get fair prices. I report with Navya Asopa reporters-collective.in/trc/modis-sche…
