Our Assessment
Rural drainage and wastewater-management infrastructure is documented across Gujarat, but the promised 100% pucca-drainage outcome is not verified. A 2025 parliamentary reply reported drainage facilities in 16,018 of 17,973 Gujarat villages. Updated August 2026 records list 37,369 drainage facilities and 4,816 community greywater-management systems in the state. However, the government explicitly says its SBM(G) system does not distinguish open, closed, kutcha or pucca drains, and these are cumulative records rather than a measure of new work since December 2022. The records support meaningful delivery toward rural drainage, while leaving the specific quality and universal-coverage commitment unresolved. The promise is assessed as Partially Done with medium confidence.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
Drainage facilities and treatment assets exist across rural Gujarat, but public reporting does not establish that all villages have a functioning pucca drainage system. A general sanitation or greywater intervention cannot by itself verify the 100% pucca target.
The reported 89.12% concerns villages with any drainage facility. It is not a completion percentage for the promised 100% pucca drainage.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
Parliamentary replies provide official drainage and greywater records. Confidence is limited by the absence of drain-type data, a full functional coverage assessment and a separation of work completed before and after the 2022 election.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Village-wise length and coverage of functioning pucca drainage, separating it from kutcha drains and soak-pit-only arrangements
- Completion certificates and inspection records for drainage constructed since December 2022
- A consistent denominator of all rural villages and the number meeting the promised 100% drainage standard
- Evidence of safe wastewater conveyance and treatment, including unconnected or inadequate drains
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.

Official SBM(G) records as of 7 August 2026 listed 37,369 drainage facilities, 16,660 termination points and 4,816 community greywater-management systems in Gujarat. These cumulative assets do not provide a percentage of villages with complete pucca drainage.
View source7 Aug 2025
The Ministry of Jal Shakti reported that 16,018 of 17,973 Gujarat villages (89.12%) had some drainage facility. The reply expressly states that monitoring does not classify drains as pucca, kutcha, open or closed.
