Government/Prime Minister Modi & PRAGATI/PM SHRI initiatives
Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.
Presenting only one side of an issue or only favorable information, without including relevant counterpoints, limitations, or criticisms.
The entire article presents only the government’s and Prime Minister’s perspective, for example: - "This marked a significant milestone in a decade-long journey of cooperative, outcome-driven governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi." - "The Prime Minister said that in the last decade, PRAGATI led ecosystem has helped accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees. He stressed that PRAGATI is essential to sustain reform momentum and ensure delivery." - "Prime Minister emphasized that the PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark for holistic and future ready school education." No independent experts, opposition voices, affected stakeholders, or data-based evaluations are cited. There is no mention of any implementation challenges, delays, criticisms, or mixed results of PRAGATI or PM SHRI.
Include perspectives from independent policy experts or researchers evaluating PRAGATI and PM SHRI, including both successes and shortcomings.
Add data or reports on actual project completion rates, delays, cost overruns, or impact assessments to balance the official claims.
Mention any publicly known criticisms, debates in parliament, audit findings, or civil society concerns about these schemes, with appropriate sourcing.
Clarify that the article is reporting the Prime Minister’s statements and that they represent the government’s view, not an established consensus.
Relying on a single type of source (e.g., official statements) while excluding other relevant sources that might provide a different or more complete picture.
All information is derived from the Prime Minister’s statements or government framing: - "Prime Minister Narendra Modi today chaired the 50th meeting of PRAGATI…" - "The Prime Minister said that in the last decade, PRAGATI led ecosystem has helped accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees." - "He stressed that PRAGATI is essential to sustain reform momentum and ensure delivery." - "Prime Minister emphasized that the PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark…" No independent data sources, third-party evaluations, or alternative voices are referenced.
Cite independent evaluations (e.g., CAG reports, academic studies, think-tank analyses) on PRAGATI and PM SHRI outcomes.
Include comments from state officials, school administrators, teachers, or beneficiaries to corroborate or nuance the government’s claims.
If such sources are not available, explicitly state that the figures and assessments come from government sources and have not been independently verified.
Using value-laden or promotional wording that implicitly endorses one side rather than neutrally describing facts.
Several phrases adopt a positive, promotional tone rather than neutral reporting: - "This marked a significant milestone in a decade-long journey of cooperative, outcome-driven governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi." — "significant milestone" and "journey of cooperative, outcome-driven governance" are evaluative and flattering, not attributed as a quote or opinion. - "He further stated that Long-Pending Projects have been completed in national interest." — presented without qualification or evidence, implying a positive value judgment. - "Prime Minister emphasized that the PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark for holistic and future ready school education." — the phrase "national benchmark" and "holistic and future ready" are aspirational and promotional; the article does not distinguish between aspiration and demonstrated reality.
Rephrase evaluative statements into neutral descriptions, e.g., change "This marked a significant milestone in a decade-long journey of cooperative, outcome-driven governance" to "This was the 50th meeting of PRAGATI, which has been used by the government over the past decade for project monitoring."
Attribute value-laden characterizations explicitly, e.g., "The government describes PRAGATI as a ‘cooperative, outcome-driven’ governance mechanism" instead of stating it as fact.
Avoid promotional adjectives like "significant", "holistic", "future ready" unless supported by independent evidence; otherwise, clearly mark them as part of the Prime Minister’s or government’s own wording.
Presenting claims as facts without providing evidence, context, or verification.
Several strong claims are reported without any supporting data or independent verification: - "PRAGATI led ecosystem has helped accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees." — A very large figure is given with no explanation of methodology, time frame, or independent confirmation. - "He further stated that Long-Pending Projects have been completed in national interest." — No examples, numbers, or evidence are provided to substantiate the extent of completion or how "national interest" is assessed. - "PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark for holistic and future ready school education." — The article does not clarify that this is an aspirational goal, nor does it provide evidence that the scheme is currently a benchmark.
Provide context and sources for quantitative claims, e.g., reference official reports or dashboards that detail how the 85 lakh crore rupees figure is calculated and over what period.
Include specific examples of long-pending projects completed through PRAGATI, with timelines and independent confirmation where possible.
Clarify aspirational statements, e.g., "The Prime Minister said he wants the PM SHRI scheme to become a national benchmark…" and, if available, add current evaluation data on PM SHRI schools’ performance.
Where independent verification is not available, explicitly state that these are claims made by the Prime Minister/government and have not been independently verified.
Relying on the status or position of a person (e.g., a leader) to lend weight to claims, instead of providing evidence or reasoning.
The article repeatedly presents the Prime Minister’s statements as sufficient justification for the claims: - "The Prime Minister said that in the last decade, PRAGATI led ecosystem has helped accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees. He stressed that PRAGATI is essential to sustain reform momentum and ensure delivery." - "Prime Minister emphasized that the PM SHRI scheme must become a national benchmark…" The authority of the Prime Minister is implicitly used as the main basis for accepting these claims, without additional evidence or analysis.
Supplement the Prime Minister’s statements with data, independent evaluations, or expert analysis that either support or contextualize the claims.
Clearly distinguish between reporting what a leader said and endorsing it as fact, e.g., "According to the Prime Minister…" followed by separate, sourced information on actual outcomes.
Include other authoritative but independent voices (e.g., education experts, infrastructure analysts) to avoid over-reliance on a single authority figure.
Leaving out relevant context or facts that would allow readers to fully assess the claims being made.
Important contextual information is missing: - No baseline or comparative data to understand what "accelerate projects worth more than 85 lakh crore rupees" means in terms of actual completion rates, delays reduced, or outcomes. - No mention of any challenges, delays, or criticisms associated with PRAGATI or PM SHRI, despite these being large, complex initiatives likely to face implementation issues. - No explanation of how "national benchmark" status for PM SHRI schools would be measured (learning outcomes, infrastructure, teacher training, etc.).
Add baseline and comparative data (e.g., project completion times before and after PRAGATI) to contextualize the acceleration claim.
Include known implementation challenges, audit findings, or criticisms, if any, to give a fuller picture of the schemes’ performance.
Explain the criteria or indicators by which PM SHRI schools are or would be evaluated as a "benchmark" (e.g., standardized test scores, dropout rates, infrastructure standards).
Clarify the scope and limitations of the data presented (time period, sectors covered, states involved).
- This is an EXPERIMENTAL DEMO version that is not intended to be used for any other purpose than to showcase the technology's potential. We are in the process of developing more sophisticated algorithms to significantly enhance the reliability and consistency of evaluations. Nevertheless, even in its current state, HonestyMeter frequently offers valuable insights that are challenging for humans to detect.
