Our Assessment

Historical reporting identifies a Vajra Mushti akhada in Vadodara, but describes its conversion into an elementary gymnasium before the manifesto. That establishes heritage context rather than a post-2022 revival. Current state assistance, specialist instructors, active combat-art training and participating trainees were not verified. General wrestling or gym support is not assumed to preserve this distinct tradition.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed

01 · Delivery status

Why pending?

Matching implementation has not been verified; this is an evidence gap, not proof of non-delivery.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why low confidence?

The pledge is clear, but matching implementation records are insufficient.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

  • Supported akhadas, specialist training activity, grants and current trainees

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
