Rs 3,000 monthly pension to folk artists over age 50

The manifesto highlights promised a monthly pension of Rs 3,000 to folk artists above the age of 50. Poor and old-aged artists are covered under the general Aasara pension scheme, but no approved-source evidence was found of a distinct, dedicated Rs 3,000 folk artists' pension specifically implementing this promise as of July 2026. Absent verifiable delivery of the specific promised scheme, the verdict is pending. Budget: no approved-source allocation for a dedicated folk artists' pension was found.
