Our Assessment

Parliamentary reporting lists Gujarat's Atal Tinkering Lab network, substantially below 5,000, and the national programme provides functioning STEM infrastructure. This is relevant delivery, including older labs, but it is not a verified count of newly established high-school labs during this term. A current school-level inventory establishing 5,000 qualifying high schools was not found. No progress percentage is inferred from a broader or historical lab count.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

An operating ATL network exists; 5,000 qualifying high schools and current-term additions are not verified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

First-party reporting supports related delivery, but statewide coverage or complete promised institutional scope is not verified.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Current Gujarat high-school ATL inventory with operational and establishment dates
  • Post-2022 additions, funding and actual student use

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
