Operationalise horticulture Centres of Excellence in Ahmedabad, Jamnagar and Kheda

The 2022 manifesto pledged to expedite and operationalise three named horticulture Centres of Excellence, in Ahmedabad, Jamnagar and Kheda. This was an existing pipeline rather than a new post-election project: Gujarat's March 2022 budget set aside ₹7 crore for the three centres, and the Chief Minister laid foundation stones for them in September 2022. Those pre-election steps establish the baseline and are not counted as delivery after the election. Gujarat's Governor reported on 1 February 2024 that the three named centres were under construction, while seven other horticulture Centres of Excellence were functioning. The February 2026 Governor's address said eight centres were functioning statewide and nine more were being constructed, but did not name the operating or unfinished sites. Therefore, post-election construction of the promised centres is verified, but the available record does not establish that any of these three centres has opened and begun services to farmers or food processors. This is Partially Done: meaningful project work was underway after the election, but operation at the three promised locations remains unverified. The 0 of 3 bar means zero named sites could be confirmed operational from the records reviewed, not that all three are definitely closed. The ₹7-crore budget provision was made before the election; it is budget context, not evidence of post-election expenditure.
