Our Assessment

The July 2024 Gujarat Gazette explicitly lists the Tribal Development Department's VKY-158 stipend at ₹400 per month for ITI students, the pre-increase amount in the manifesto. This is direct post-election evidence of the published rate at that date. No later verified resolution and payment evidence establishing the promised ₹800 monthly rate for tribal ITI students was found in this review. The existing ₹400 scheme is not counted as delivery of the increase, and it is not displayed as 50% completion. Pending reflects the unverified doubling while the term continues.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

The official 2024 schedule still states ₹400 monthly; a later ₹800 entitlement and actual disbursement have not been verified.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

The Gazette directly identifies the relevant tribal scheme and rate. Confidence is Medium because it is dated 2024 and may not capture a subsequent unpublished or unlocated change.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • A later Gujarat resolution revising VKY-158 to ₹800 per month
  • Effective date, eligibility and updated application instructions
  • Year-wise tribal ITI beneficiary payments demonstrating the increased rate

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
