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 facilitate the Gujarat Sports Policy 2022-2027, by ensuring: • Fast Tracking the development of Centres of Excellence in 8 districts by 2024 and then expanding it to 12 more districts by 2027”

Our Assessment

The Assembly record reports 28 Centres of Excellence academies operating across 10 districts, training about 1,790 players in 15 sports. This is substantive delivery, but 28 academies must not be treated as 28 districts. The record does not establish which eight districts were operational by the 2024 deadline, their opening dates or coverage of 12 additional districts by 2027. A dated district-level rollout audit is needed.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 18 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Excellence academies operate across ten districts, but the 2024 deadline and full twenty-district rollout are not verified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

Primary departmental records or dated reporting support some delivery; comprehensive completion and outcome evidence remains unavailable.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

Named districts and academy opening dates verifying eight districts by 2024
Twelve additional district openings by 2027, with staffing, facilities and enrolment
