Our Assessment
The review did not find authenticated raising orders, staffing or operational records for the three promised Gujarat Police all-women battalions, including equivalent units under different names. BPR&D's January 2023 inventory is an early reference, not proof of the position in 2026. The CRPF Mahila battalion headquartered in Gandhinagar is a central-force unit predating the promise and is not counted as a Gujarat Police battalion. Missing public confirmation does not establish cancellation.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
Creation and operation of three matching state-police battalions remain unverified.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
Public evidence is incomplete; the rating describes what could be verified, not proof that no activity occurred.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Gujarat Police battalion raising orders and sanctioned posts
- Actual staffing, training and deployment for all three units
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
