Last updated 16 Oct 2026

What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will expand the existing network of regional centres of the Sardar Patel Institute of Public Administration (SPIPA) to support students in preparation for competitive exams.”

Our Assessment

SPIPA maintains regional training and civil-service coaching services. January 2026 reporting identifies a separate Gandhinagar campus inaugurated in 2025 and operated by SPIPA for GPSC aspirants, supporting partial expansion. Land allocated for a further Lekawada campus is preparation, not an operating centre. A verified post-2022 inventory of new regional centres, additional coaching seats and student use is still needed to establish the full expansion.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 16 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

An additional operating Gandhinagar facility is reported, while the further Lekawada project remains preparatory and statewide expansion is unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Official SPIPA material confirms the existing network; dated reporting supports the new facility and land allocation, but consolidated expansion records are unavailable.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

Regional centre openings and capacity additions since 2022, with operating dates and coaching enrolment
Lekawada construction, opening and student-service records

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
