Our Assessment

Official records confirm pre-matric scholarship programmes for SC and ST students, including central funding released to Gujarat. These establish continued scholarship provision, but not the promised doubling of individual awards. A comparable pre-election rate, revised state order and recipient-level payment schedule were not verified. Existing expenditure or beneficiary totals cannot substitute for evidence that the amount per eligible student doubled.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

Matching implementation has not been verified; this is an evidence gap, not proof of non-delivery.

02 · Strength of evidence

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.

  • Before-and-after award rates, state revision order and payments for both SC and ST students
