Official sources only
Official figures stay distinct from independent findings. No blended “net assessment” hides the source of a number.

Sach Ki Dahad places the headline beside the footnote — mapping public infrastructure and welfare claims against the audits, surveys and evidence that test them.

NOTES 01 INDIA / UNION
NOTES 01 INDIA / UNION
Not a scorecard.
Not a press release.
A record in public.
Compiled with primary government documents, CAG reports, RBI data and peer-reviewed research
Last dataset update 31 AUG 2026
01 / The premise
A claim is
only the beginning.
Public work deserves public scrutiny. This is a reader-first archive for checking how a figure was made, what it counts, and what it cannot tell us on its own.
Audited where possible
CAG, RBI, NSSO and peer-reviewed studies are placed alongside the government's own figure wherever they were located.
Gaps are marked, not hidden
Inconsistent releases, unfinished projects and missing audits remain visible as research gaps — not editorial clutter.
02 / The landscape
What was built,
where it lands.
A geographic index of named projects and corridors. Turn layers on or off, then follow the source.

03 / The ledger
The claim
meets the record.
Read across, not just down. Each scheme keeps its official headline, its qualification, and the strongest independent check found so far.

04 / The allocation story
More rupees.
A smaller share?
Absolute allocation and budget share answer different questions. These charts keep them apart — and leave undocumented years visibly open instead of drawing a false smooth line.

05 / The wage measure
A floor rose, then stalled.
Real wages slipped.
Nominal policy floors and inflation-adjusted earnings are different measures. They sit in separate charts so the comparison stays legible.

06 / Climate & air
Targets met.
Questions remain.
Per-person emissions, electricity capacity and air quality are different measures. The record keeps the favorable comparison and the methodological check in the same frame.

07 / Defense trade
More exported.
Still importing.
Exports show a rapidly expanding domestic industry. Imports show the strategic dependence that remains. Both belong in the same record.

09 / The diplomatic record
Visits, ties
and the deals.
The Orbit groups India’s partners by formal designations, policy geography and multilateral engagement. PM visits, state-level investment outreach and source gaps remain visible instead of being collapsed into a friendliness score.

10 / Method & limits
Read the claim.
Then read its limits.
This is a working record, not a final verdict. Each section keeps the number, its unit, its source and its uncertainty together so a favourable headline cannot quietly become a broader conclusion.
- 01Start at the official claim.
Read the ministry, PIB, budget or scheme figure in its own framing, date and unit.
- 02Compare like with like.
Keep nominal and real wages, budget estimates and revised or actual spending, PM10 and PM2.5, and capacity and generation distinct.
- 03Show what remains unresolved.
Independent checks, approximate map paths, undocumented years and pending audits stay labelled rather than averaged away.
Sourcing checklist
What this record
does not hide.
- ✓ Official figures and independent checks are visibly separated
- ✓ Every chart reads from an editable JSON dataset
- ✓ Internal inconsistencies are called out, not averaged away
- — “Audit pending” means no located audit, never a clean bill of health
- — Map paths and diplomatic research gaps are explicitly illustrative
