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 establish a "Kumaoni Research Centre" in Nainital. These centres will initiate the compilation of a digitized Shabd Bhandar in Kumaoni, Garhwali, and Jaunsari.”

Our Assessment

Uttarakhand Bhasha Sansthan has moved toward digitising dialects, folk literature, e-library work and a linguistic map, but I did not verify a physical Kumaoni Research Centre in Nainital. The digital-language objective is partly moving, but the named research centre is not verified. Budget: Bhasha Sansthan activity exists; centre-specific allocation not found.
