What does this status mean?
Implementation is progressing towards the commitment.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will incentivise the Top Global Institutes to set up their campuses in Gujarat.”
Our Assessment
Deakin and the University of Wollongong have begun teaching at GIFT City. These operating foreign campuses are concrete delivery of the intended outcome. The assessment credits the GIFT City facilitation route, while leaving open the extent of Gujarat-specific financial incentives and whether a broader pipeline of top global institutes will follow. Approvals alone are not counted as operating campuses.
