Part of it is true, but the way it was said gives a wrong picture.

    unemployment rate, Economic Survey 2024-25

    pib.gov.in

    The Economic Survey 2024-25, presented in Parliament, says retail headline inflation softened to 4.9% in April-December 2024 and the unemployment rate for people aged 15 and above fell from 6% in 2017-18 to 3.2% in 2023-24. On farmers' income, the Agriculture Ministry's written replies and PIB releases cite NSS data showing average monthly income per agricultural household rose from ₹6,426 in 2012-13 to ₹10,218 in 2018-19, not a doubling.

    • The Economic Survey 2024-25 says retail headline inflation softened to 4.9% in April-December 2024 and was expected to align with the target of around 4% in FY26. [10]
    • The same Economic Survey says the unemployment rate for people aged 15 and above declined from 6% in 2017-18 to 3.2% in 2023-24. [10]
    • The Periodic Labour Force Survey 2023-24 puts Uttar Pradesh's unemployment rate at 3.0% for all persons. [11]
    • Official replies on Doubling Farmers' Income cite NSS data showing average monthly income per agricultural household rose from ₹6,426 in 2012-13 to ₹10,218 in 2018-19, and they do not state that the doubling target was met. [6][7]
    • The Economic Survey 2024-25 reports gross FDI inflows rose from USD 47.2 billion in the first eight months of FY24 to USD 55.6 billion in the same period of FY25, and capex grew 8.2% in July-November 2024. [10]
    • The Economic Survey 2023-24 says gross capital formation in agriculture grew 19.04% in 2022-23. [9]
    • An Economic and Political Weekly assessment of Uttar Pradesh says investment levels remain sluggish despite policy initiatives. [8]

    The claim bundles several issues. The farmers' income part is supported: official data show average monthly income rose from ₹6,426 to ₹10,218, not a doubling, and the government does not claim the target was met. But the inflation and unemployment parts are misleading because official data show inflation softened to 4.9% and unemployment fell to 3.2%, not a deepening crisis. Investment indicators also rose at the all-India level, though one non-official assessment says Uttar Pradesh investment remains sluggish.
