Our Assessment

The Gujarat academies continue relevant activities, including support for the 2026 Bharat Rang Mahotsav and art-exhibition assistance. Their continued operation does not establish a funding increase against a comparable pre-pledge baseline. Revised allocations, actual grant releases and expenditure for both state academies were not reconciled. Budget increases for the separate national academies are not counted toward this Gujarat commitment.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

Why pending?

Why low confidence?

The pledge is clear, but matching implementation records are insufficient.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Comparable state-academy baseline, revised budgets, releases and actual expenditure
