Our Assessment

Government records show real delivery under Mission Amrit Sarovar in Gujarat: completed ponds increased from 1,692 on 23 March 2023 to 2,650 on 20 March 2025. This is 958 additional completed Amrit Sarovars after March 2023. But the manifesto’s 5,000 target is for water-recharge projects, which may include works beyond Amrit Sarovar ponds, and the reviewed records do not identify a ₹1,000-crore Gujarat fund or a matching project-level total by the 2025 deadline. The visible implementation supports Partially Done, while the exact 5,000-project and funding claims remain unverified.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 10 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

The Union rural-development ministry reported 1,692 completed Amrit Sarovars in Gujarat in March 2023 and 2,650 in March 2025. The increase demonstrates work during the elected term. Yet Amrit Sarovar ponds are only one possible category of the manifesto’s wider 'water recharge projects'; the public counts do not prove that 5,000 promised projects were completed by 2025, nor that the proposed ₹1,000 crore was allocated. The promise is Partially Done.

The target of 5,000 is retained, but 2,650 ponds are not shown as 53% completion: the government count is for Amrit Sarovars, while the manifesto refers more broadly to water-recharge projects. The funding field remains unconfirmed for the named ₹1,000-crore commitment.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Parliamentary replies provide dated, official Gujarat pond counts. Confidence is Medium because no matched register of all promised recharge projects or identifiable state fund allocation and expenditure was found.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

Government order or budget head creating the promised ₹1,000-crore fund and year-wise expenditure
Project-level list of the 5,000 proposed water-recharge works with completion dates
A reconciliation between Amrit Sarovar pond counts and any other recharge-project categories
Verified 2025 deadline total for the exact manifesto metric
