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 give free bicycles to all female students from classes 9 to 12.”

Our Assessment

Gujarat continues targeted bicycle assistance for eligible Class 9 girls. Official scheme rules and the 2025–26 budget's ₹84-crore provision for about 1.39 lakh eligible girls establish a relevant programme. That budget beneficiary figure is a planned coverage number, not a verified count of bicycles delivered. The reviewed evidence does not establish expansion to every girl across Classes 9–12. The scheme's pre-election history and eligibility limits are kept separate from the broader manifesto promise.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Targeted bicycle assistance and its budget provision are verified, but expansion to every girl in Classes 9–12 and completed distribution totals are not.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Official scheme eligibility and the reproduced budget establish scope and funding. They do not provide a verified statewide distribution numerator.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Government order extending free bicycles to every girl in Classes 9–12
  • Annual bicycles delivered by class, district and eligibility group since December 2022
  • Enrolment denominator and evidence that all eligible girls received a bicycle

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
