Bharatiya Janata Party · Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly Election 2022
Last updated 4 Jul 2026
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
“In order to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from crops, the BJP Government will take concrete measures to adopt Systematic Rice Intensification (SRI) as a practice.”
Our Assessment
SRI is documented by MoEF/ICFRE as a sustainable land and ecosystem management practice already adopted by farmers in Uttarakhand, and a 2025 ICAR-CRRI/Uttarakhand Watershed training focused on climate-smart rice practices and GHG mitigation; but a statewide government SRI adoption programme is not verified. The objective has related activity and technical basis, but no clear post-2022 Uttarakhand government rollout for SRI adoption at scale. Budget: Climate-smart agriculture activity exists under UCRRFP/training channels; no SRI-specific statewide allocation isolated.
