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 strengthen the Gujarat State Mental Health Authority by taking focused measures to provide quality mental health services to citizens.”

Our Assessment

Official parliamentary data show Tele-MANAS counselling at the Hospital for Mental Health, Ahmedabad, including 20,873 calls in 2025. This demonstrates functioning mental-health support. It does not establish that the State Mental Health Authority itself has gained staffing, regulatory capacity or service oversight. Call volumes measure use, not clinical recovery, timely follow-up or universal access to quality care.
