Our Assessment

Gujarat's Assembly record reports 72,128 placements through industrial recruitment fairs and 2,92,538 through employment exchanges by December 2025. These channels show employment delivery, but may overlap and do not establish a unique, youth-only total for the 2022–27 pledge. Apprenticeship trainees are not counted as jobs. The 20-lakh target remains partially implemented; no defensible completion percentage is available.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Placements are documented, but an audited youth-only total against the five-year target is unavailable.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Official placement figures are credible, but their overlap and coverage of the manifesto period are unresolved.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • De-duplicated youth employment totals for 2022–27, identifying actual job starts and duration
  • Reconciliation of exchange placements, recruitment fairs, apprenticeships and self-employment

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
