Our Assessment
The 10 August 2026 Shaktidoot 2.0 resolution states eligibility for qualifying athletes above age nine and sets no upper-age cutoff in its eligibility rules. This is broader than access through age 25, so the policy change is credited as fulfilled. The resolution does not use the manifesto's exact 20-to-25 wording. Actual awards to athletes aged 21–25 have not been verified, and selection remains dependent on sporting performance.
