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 develop thematic circuits for promoting cultural experience: border villages, sustainable ecotourism in under-explored regions, riverine tourism along major river ecosystems, island tourism hubs in Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar, and adventure tourism in the North East and other hill states.”

Our Assessment

Thematic tourism is being developed across the pledged themes: border tourism under the Vibrant Villages Programme, ecotourism and adventure tourism in the North East and hill states, riverine and cruise tourism (with cruise-tourism policy and river-cruise circuits, e.g. on the Ganga), and island tourism in Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar (with PM-led promotion of Lakshadweep). These circuits are being progressed under Swadesh Darshan 2.0 and related schemes, with development ongoing. Partial.
