Sach Ki Dahadसच की दहाड़ — Every claim, its source, and its check
DATA AS OF / 31 AUG 2026 SOURCES / PIB · CAG · RBI · NPCI
An open ledger of public claims

Ask what
the number
leaves out.

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

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.

01

Official sources only

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

02

Audited where possible

CAG, RBI, NSSO and peer-reviewed studies are placed alongside the government's own figure wherever they were located.

03

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 / How to read this

A good source
can still leave
a question.

This is a working record, not a final verdict. The point is to make the chain visible: who said it, what was measured, who checked it, and which documents still need to be pulled.

  1. 01
    Start at the official claim.

    Read the ministry, PIB, budget or scheme figure in its own framing and date.

  2. 02
    Look for an independent measure.

    CAG, RBI, NSSO, a court record or peer-reviewed study can corroborate, qualify or contradict it.

  3. 03
    Follow the source, not the summary.

    Secondary links are marked. “Pending” means absence of a located audit — never proof that the claim is clean.

Sourcing checklist

Before this record
goes live.

  • ✓ Every number linked to a primary document
  • ✓ Official and independent evidence visibly separated
  • ✓ Internal inconsistencies called out, not averaged away
  • — Pending audits marked as research gaps, never as clean sectors
  • — Map is an illustrative sample, not a complete national dataset
