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 ensure strong linkage between industry’s skilled manpower demand and availability of trained human resources by starting industrial ecosystem linked skill development centres on the PPP model.”

Our Assessment

The NSDC–PDEU Centre of Excellence opened in Gandhinagar in April 2025, with semiconductor training already underway and courses in energy and smart manufacturing. KSU also reports industry-affiliated training. These deliver the intended link between employers and practical skills through partnership models. They do not yet establish the full state PPP-centre network, contractual responsibilities or a measured reconciliation of industry demand with graduates and placements.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

A new industry-linked centre is training students; statewide PPP coverage and demand-to-placement outcomes remain unverified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

First-party reporting supports related delivery, but statewide coverage or complete promised institutional scope is not verified.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Operating PPP-centre inventory and agreements defining public/private responsibilities
  • Employer demand, trainee completions, apprenticeships and placement results

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
