Declared figures from the ECI election affidavit (—), via MyNeta/ADR — as declared, not verified. Bars are the original publisher's 0–100 mappings (education mapping; legal: 100 − serious×18 − other×10) — theirs, not ours.
These 0–100 ratings are the original publisher's own, quoted here with their methodology. Audit India computes no score — the same way we carry UNDP's HDI as UNDP's number.
Transparency
42/ 100
the original publisher
Three CAG performance audits are carried here, each read against the report itself: Public Health Infrastructure (Report No. 5 of 2024), ICDS (Report No. 6 of 2024) and Welfare of Building and Other Construction Workers (Report No. 2 of 2025). The score beside this note was assigned by the original publisher on four different findings — for JJM, PMAY-G, MGNREGS and NHM, cited to Reports No. 01-04 of 2024. Gujarat's reports at those numbers are on other subjects entirely and none of the figures could be found, so those findings have been withdrawn. Read the score as that publisher's opinion, not as a count of what is shown here.
Officials' Legal Integrity
98/ 100
the original publisher
10 unique officials with ECI affidavit data counted once each. Raghavji Patel: 1 case → 75; all remaining 9 officials (CM Bhupendra Patel, Shankar Chaudhary, Kanubhai Desai, Rajendra Trivedi, Harsh Sanghavi, Balvantsinh Rajput, Kuber Dindor, Purnesh Modi, Rushikesh Patel): 0 cases → 100. Average: (75 + 100×9) ÷ 10 = 975 ÷ 10 = 97.5, rounded to 98. Governor Acharya Devvrat excluded (appointed position; no ECI affidavit). Computed by the original publisher from 2022 affidavits. Gujarat's council was rebuilt in October 2025 — every minister resigned and a 26-member council was sworn in — and five of the ten counted here (Rajendra Trivedi, Balvantsinh Rajput, Kuber Dindor, Purnesh Modi, Raghavji Patel) are not in it. They have been removed from the list above, so the average no longer describes the sitting cabinet.
Governance
65/ 100
the original publisher
Composite: indicators avg (63/100) × 50% + Transparency (42/100) × 25% + Integrity (98/100) × 25% = 31.5 + 10.5 + 24.5 = 66.5; adjusted down to 65. the original publisher's stated reason for the adjustment was a JJM data-integrity failure that no CAG report we could find records, and that finding has been withdrawn; the other stated reason — child stunting at 39.7 per cent, above the national average, in India's highest-profile 'model state' — stands. The score is carried as that publisher's opinion.
The 0–100 rings are the original publisher's category scores, in their colour bands — theirs, not ours.
These statistics were carried over from the original publisher, which produced them with a language model rather than compiling them from the publications named beside them. We removed 38 whose figures were absent from the source they credit, and confirmed 45 against theirs. The rest name a publication we have not been able to check them against — read them as the original publisher's figures, not as verified fact.
Figures below are as declared by each individual in their own ECI or Rajya Sabha affidavit. We report them; we do not score them. The small bars under education are the original publisher's 0–100 mapping of the declared qualification — their construct, not a measurement of ours.

Findings from CAG audit reports on schemes as they ran in this state, quoted with their report references. We add no grade of our own.
Public Health Infrastructure — Gujarat
Gujarat recruited 9,983 healthcare staff over 2016-22 and still ran short of doctors and paramedics by 23 per cent each, and nurses by six per cent, as of March 2022. Specialist vacancies were worse the further a hospital sat from a city — 28 per cent at medical college hospitals, 36 per cent at district hospitals and 51 per cent at sub-district hospitals. In 22 of the state's 33 districts more than a quarter of doctor posts were vacant.
What the audit measured
Of 8,208 posts sanctioned under the National Health Mission, 1,510 (18 per cent) were vacant as of March 2022, and nursing colleges ran a 76 per cent shortage of teaching staff against Indian Nursing Council norms. Of 5,332 construction works approved during 2016-22, only 24 per cent were completed and 70 per cent were dropped or never started. Sixteen of the 19 district hospitals had fewer beds than IPHS norms require. The health budget was 5.42 per cent of the state budget in 2021-22, against a target of more than eight per cent.
Integrated Child Development Services — Gujarat
Gujarat was short of 16,045 anganwadi centres. Enrolment of children aged nought to six averaged 40.34 lakh from 2015-16 to 2022-23 against 77.77 lakh children counted in Census 2011. Of the 53,029 centres that do exist, 8,452 had dilapidated buildings, 3,381 ran from temporary structures and 30 operated in the open. Not one centre — including those built between 2015 and 2023 — met the required 600 square feet per 30 children.
What the audit measured
₹242.39 crore of scheme grants lay unspent in district and taluka officers' personal ledger accounts as of March 2023 and was not counted when the next budget was framed; ₹69.73 crore parked over 2015-19 was reported to the Centre as spent. 56.70 per cent of Child Development Project Officer posts were vacant. 1,299 centres had no toilet and 1,032 no drinking water. 6,709 water purifiers costing ₹382.29 lakh sat unused for want of water and electricity connections.
Welfare of Building and Other Construction Workers — Gujarat
The board that is supposed to run welfare for Gujarat's construction workers had no workers on it. From November 2017 to March 2022 it was a single-member board headed by a secretary, with no representative of either employers or building workers — the composition the Act requires. The State Advisory Committee had not been constituted since 2011, and the Welfare Fund the Act mandates was never constituted at all, so the cess collected goes into the government account instead.
What the audit measured
As of March 2022, 72 per cent of the board's regular posts and 42 per cent of the inspector posts in the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health were vacant, and no separate post of Nirikshak — the officer who registers workers and processes their welfare claims — had been sanctioned at district board offices. Registrations of establishments rose from 668 in 2017 to 4,087 in 2022, but with no formal link between the registering authority and the government bodies that authorise construction.
The promises and their delivery status come from the original publisher and are their assessment, not ours. They cite a party's homepage rather than a manifesto, so what was promised cannot be checked from the citation given. Audit India has verified neither the wording nor the status.
Where a CAG finding is quoted below, its figures have been checked against the report cited. Thirty-seven were withdrawn because the report they named does not exist or is a search page.
Namo Laxmi: free higher education for girls in SC/ST/OBC; scholarship assistance
Namo Laxmi Scheme launched January 2024: ₹10,000-25,000 per year scholarship to class 9-12 girls in government schools to reduce dropout. 10 lakh girls targeted. By mid-2026, 8.5 lakh girls enrolled and receiving scholarships. One of Gujarat's flagship women's education schemes under the 2022 term.
Gruha Lakshmi: cash assistance to women self-help group members
BJP promised enhanced SHG financial support; Sakhimandal Gujarat SHGs received additional revolving fund assistance (₹15,000 per group) and interest subvention. Direct ₹10,000 cash per homemaker promise not implemented as a separate scheme. GoG expanded the Sakhimandal network from 3.6 lakh to 4.2 lakh groups.
20 lakh jobs in Gujarat within 5 years through industry and manufacturing
Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024: ₹25 lakh crore investment pledges (MoU stage). Tata-Airbus Transporter manufacturing at Vadodara (C-295), Semiconductor facilities (Vedanta-Foxconn revived as ISMC), EV hub at Surat/Sanand. Formal employment creation is hard to attribute precisely; EPFO data for Gujarat shows ~3.5 lakh new subscribers/year. 20 lakh target remains long-term aspirational.
Complete Ahmedabad Metro Phase 2 and launch Surat and Rajkot Metro
Ahmedabad Metro Phase 1 (40 km) fully operational. Phase 2 (28.25 km) civil works at 60% as of mid-2026. Surat Metro (40.35 km): civil work started 2021; ~45% complete. Rajkot Metro (DPR approved): delayed in financial closure. GoI NMRC funding allocated.
Zero-tolerance governance: no negligence-driven mass casualty events; infrastructure safety audits
On October 30, 2022 — four days after its reopening following renovation — the Morbi suspension bridge (Jhulto Pul) over the Machchhu River collapsed, killing 135 people including children. The bridge had been handed to Oreva Group (a clock-manufacturer with no bridge expertise) under a municipal maintenance concession without competitive tender. No load test or safety inspection was conducted before reopening. CBI took over the investigation in 2023. Nine people were arrested; Oreva director Jaysukh Patel got bail. The Gujarat government constituted an inquiry committee, but critics noted: no senior official was charged, the state municipality's role in granting the concession without oversight was not prosecuted, and Oreva continued to operate other government contracts. The Morbi disaster became a symbol of crony contract allocation in Gujarat's municipal governance.
PM Kisan Kalyan Kendras (PMKKKY): one-stop agricultural advisory centres in every block
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana (PMKKY): in Gujarat, 182 Kisan Seva Kendras (KSKs) established. The scheme's potential as a one-stop agricultural advisory centre remains unrealised in most districts. No audited figure on soil-health card reach, seed quality or call-centre response is carried here.
No audited figure is carried for this promise.
Eliminate child malnutrition in Gujarat: reach zero severe acute malnutrition by 2025
Gujarat's nutrition paradox: India's wealthiest state (per-capita GSDP ₹2.6 lakh) with child malnutrition among its worst metrics. NFHS-5 (2021): stunting 39.7%, wasting 25.1%, underweight 39.7% — all worse than the national average and comparable to poorer states like MP and Rajasthan. The Saurashtra-Kutch belt and tribal areas (Dahod, Narmada, Tapi districts) are most affected. CAG's 2024 ICDS audit counted a shortage of 16,045 anganwadi centres, and found supplementary nutrition running 2.17 lakh MT short of its foodgrain allocation over 2015-23.
CAG's performance audit of ICDS in Gujarat (Report No. 6 of 2024) counted a shortage of 16,045 anganwadi centres, and found that against a shortfall of 3.27 lakh MT of foodgrain the state procured only 1.10 lakh MT (34 per cent) from the open market — so supplementary nutrition ran 2.17 lakh MT short of its allocation over 2015-23. Of 8.82 lakh severely malnourished children identified, 1.63 lakh (19 per cent) were admitted to nutrition rehabilitation centres.
Expand old-age, widow and disability pensions; ensure no eligible beneficiary left out
Gujarat NSAP coverage: 26.6 lakh beneficiaries (old-age, widow, disability pensions). Central contribution (IGNOAPS): ₹200/month — unchanged since 2006; GoG tops up to ₹400/month. CAG's 2024 audit found the state kept no database of eligible beneficiaries, so the pension ran demand-driven — reaching only those who knew of it and applied.
CAG's performance audit of NSAP delivered through DBT (Report No. 3 of 2024, covering 2017-18 to 2020-21) found that the state kept no database of eligible beneficiaries at all, so the programme ran demand-driven — reaching only those who knew of it and applied. In Bharuch and Dang alone, 774 impoverished widowed beneficiaries were left out of the National Family Benefit Scheme, costing them ₹1.55 crore in benefits between 2017 and 2020.
Support Gujarat's traditional artisans — patola weavers, brassware, block-printing — through PM Vishwakarma and KVIC schemes
Gujarat's traditional artisan economy covers Patan patola (double ikat silk weaving — UNESCO intangible heritage candidate), Kutch embroidery (famous for mirror work), Ahmedabad block-printing (ajrakh, bansari), Bharuch brassware and Bhavnagar agarbatti (incense). PM Vishwakarma Yojana (launched 2023): 2.8 lakh Gujarat artisans registered; ₹1 lakh collateral-free credit at 5% interest. KVIC (Khadi and Village Industries Commission) — Gujarat is India's largest khadi-producing state: ₹2,400 crore in khadi sales (2022-23), 4.8 lakh spinners and weavers employed. GI tags in Gujarat: 26 registered (highest among Indian states after UP) — including Gir Kesar Mango, Rajkot Patola, Jamnagar Bandhani. The Handloom Census 2019-20 found 18,000 handloom households in Gujarat — many in debt to master weavers (dalals) who control market access. Government's direct marketing initiative (TRIFED empanelment for tribal artisans; e-commerce for urban) reaching 4,200 artisan households.
Flood-proof Gujarat's cities; complete AMRUT 2.0 water supply and sewerage projects in 162 urban local bodies
Gujarat's coastal and riverine cities — Surat (Tapi river floods), Rajkot, Vadodara (Vishwamitri floods), Ahmedabad (Sabarmati) — face recurring urban flooding intensified by climate change. The 2024 monsoon saw Surat inundate 40% of the city (again — after 2006, 2013, 2019), despite ₹800 crore in stormwater infrastructure built 2016-22. AMRUT 2.0 allocation for Gujarat: ₹6,400 crore (2021-26) for 162 ULBs — water supply projects (tap connections to 38 lakh households) and sewage treatment plants. Vadodara's Vishwamitri flood moderation: the contested Vishwamitri Riverfront project (encroachment on flood plain for beautification — opposed by environmentalists) was modified in 2023 to preserve 40% of the floodplain. Surat's new ₹1,200 crore stormwater network: 35% complete.
Expand Ayushman Bharat + MA Yojana to all Gujarat families; PM-ABHIM: upgrade 475 CHCs to 50-bed hospitals; new AMRUT hospitals for urban poor
BJP 2022 health commitments: (1) PM-JAY + MA (Mukhyamantri Amrutum): combined ₹5 lakh + ₹5 lakh top-up cover for 60 lakh families — 82 lakh enrolled by mid-2026. (2) PM-ABHIM (Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission): Gujarat allocated ₹8,200 crore (2021-26) — 475 CHCs being upgraded to 50 beds with OT, blood bank, imaging; 218 fully upgraded by mid-2026. (3) AMRUT Hospitals: Ahmedabad's Sola AMRUT Hospital (300 beds) and Surat's Bhesan AMRUT Hospital (200 beds) commissioned 2025. CAG's 2024 audit recorded doctor and paramedic shortages of 23 per cent each statewide as of March 2022.
Implement NEP 2020 across all Gujarat schools; upgrade 350 schools as PM SHRI exemplar schools; achieve 100% foundational literacy by Class 3
Gujarat was among India's first states to fully adopt NEP 2020 — implementing the 5+3+3+4 curricular structure across 34,000 state schools (58 lakh students). PM SHRI (PM Schools for Rising India): 350 Gujarat schools selected as exemplar schools with labs, libraries, digital classrooms, sports grounds — 280 fully upgraded (₹1,800 crore GoI + ₹600 crore state) by mid-2026. Foundational Literacy & Numeracy (FLN): NIPUN Bharat Gujarat results — Class 3 FLN achievement 68% (target 100% by 2026-27). ASER Gujarat 2024: reading ability (Class 5 reading Class 2 text) improved from 52% (2018) to 67% (2024). Digital classrooms: 28,000 of 34,000 schools equipped. Major gap: Kutch and tribal district schools — 42% of tribal-area Class 8 students cannot read a Grade 5 text (ASER).
Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay: crop insurance with ₹25,000/hectare cover for all farmers
Mukhyamantri Kisan Sahay Yojana launched 2020: free crop insurance (no premium) covering crop loss above 33% — ₹25,000/hectare for 33-60% loss, ₹50,000 for 60%+ loss. 56 lakh farmers covered. Total compensation: ₹1,200+ crore (2020-25). One of the most farmer-friendly crop insurance innovations — no premium burden on farmer.
Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushalya Yojana: skill 1 lakh Gujarat youth per year
DDU-GKY training in Gujarat: 60,000-70,000 youth per year trained (2017-22). Placement rate: ~65%. Sectors: retail, IT-ITES, manufacturing, hospitality. Target of 1 lakh/year not consistently met due to employer partnership gaps. Gujarat's strong industrial base (textiles, chemicals, pharma) absorbs most placements.
Address Patidar reservation demand; resolve OBC sub-categorisation and social welfare for all communities
The Patidar (Patel) community reservation agitation — led by Hardik Patel from August 2015 — was the defining social crisis entering the 2017 Gujarat elections. Patidars (14% of Gujarat's population) demanded inclusion in OBC category for reservation in government jobs and education. BJP could not accede (it would require a constitutional amendment and breach the 50% SC ceiling); instead offered economic measures: PM Kisan Vikas Patra, interest-free loans for Patidar farmer families, Nayab Patidar Avas Yojana. Hardik Patel contested, faced sedition charges, ultimately joined BJP in 2022. Congress won 77 seats in 2017 (up from 61) partly on Patidar anger + Dalit mobilisation post-Una flogging (2016). By 2022 the community largely returned to BJP. The Supreme Court's August 2024 OBC sub-classification judgment opened a new avenue — Patidars' OBC claim remains a live political issue.
SAUNI (Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation): pipe Narmada water to Saurashtra's 115 dams and drought-prone talukas
SAUNI (Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation) Yojana: Gujarat's largest intra-state water-transfer project — 1,126 km pipeline, 4 links, carrying Narmada water from the Sardar Sarovar reservoir to Saurashtra's chronic drought districts. ₹9,500 crore project. SAUNI Phase 1-3 completed by 2022; Phase 4 near completion. 115 dams filled in Saurashtra and Kutch by 2025 — ending the water-train supplies that had been running to Rajkot and Jamnagar since 2012. Drinking water to 1,250 villages in Saurashtra. This is arguably Gujarat's most successful infrastructure delivery of the 2017-22 term — tangible, measurable and politically transformative in Saurashtra (a swing region in Gujarat politics).
Lead seamless GST implementation; protect Gujarat's MSMEs and textile industry in the new tax regime
Gujarat is India's largest contributor to the GST economy — its textile, diamond, pharmaceutical and chemical industries account for ~14% of national GST collections. GST's rollout (July 1, 2017 — three months before the December 2017 Gujarat election) was particularly disruptive for: (a) Surat's textile sector (87,000 units, mostly small traders); initial classification of man-made fabrics at 12% GST hit traders hard; rate reduced to 5% after protests. (b) Diamond sector (Surat handles 90% of global rough diamond polishing) — zero-rating exports was disputed. Hardik Patel's agitation partly merged with MSME anger. By 2019, most GST rate rationalisation was complete. Gujarat's business climate recovered — DPIIT ease-of-doing-business ranking: Gujarat #3 (2022). The GIFT City (Gujarat International Finance Tec-City) in Gandhinagar, now India's only operational IFSC, became a flagship financial infrastructure — exempt from GST on financial services.
Digital health records for all Gujarat citizens; expand CHC/PHC capacity by 50%
Gujarat's Public Health Information Management System (PHIMS) is one of India's most comprehensive state-level health IT systems. CHC/PHC expansion: Gujarat added 380 new Sub-Centres, 42 PHCs and 11 CHCs during 2017-22 — roughly 20-25% capacity addition. CAG's 2024 audit put specialist vacancies at 36 per cent in district hospitals and 51 per cent in sub-district hospitals.
CAG's performance audit of public health infrastructure (Report No. 5 of 2024) found the state had no human resource policy for public health institutions. Despite recruiting 9,983 staff over 2016-22, doctors and paramedics were short by 23 per cent each as of March 2022, and specialist vacancies ran to 51 per cent at sub-district hospitals. Of 5,332 construction works approved in that period, 70 per cent were dropped or never started.
Make Surat the global diamond and textile processing capital; set up Diamond Bourse; protect weavers from GST disruption
Surat handles 90% of the world's rough diamond polishing (10 crore diamonds processed daily) and 35% of India's man-made textile production. The BJP 2017 manifesto committed to enhancing both sectors. Diamond Bourse: Surat Diamond Bourse (SDB) — a ₹3,400 crore, 35.54-lakh-sq-ft complex at Khajod (15 km from Surat city) — was proposed, approved and built largely during 2017-22. PM Modi inaugurated it in December 2023 — the world's largest office complex (surpassing the Pentagon). SDB has 4,500 diamond trading offices, eliminating the need for Surat cutters to travel to Mumbai's Bharat Diamond Bourse. Textile: man-made fabric GST rationalisation (12% → 5% for most MMF fabrics after 2017 lobbying) helped 87,000 Surat textile units. Weaver welfare: 1.8 lakh powerloom workers covered under ESI scheme (expanded from 60,000 in 2016). Women textile workers' safety (night shift regulations) improved with factory inspections.
Build 3 lakh pucca houses for rural poor under PMAY-G by 2022; achieve 100% FHTC under JJM
Gujarat's PMAY-G target (2017-22): 3.55 lakh houses. Achievement: 2.98 lakh houses completed — 84% of target. The shortfall is concentrated in Kutch and Saurashtra's tribal talukas where construction is harder (terrain, labour shortage after GLOF/migration). JJM (Jal Jeevan Mission): Gujarat was among the first 5 states to declare 100% FHTC (Functional Household Tap Connection) in October 2022 — 1.03 crore rural households covered.
Deliver justice for the Una flogging; reform cow-protection vigilantism; strengthen SC/ST Atrocity Act enforcement
On July 11, 2016, four Dalit skinners (handling carcasses — a traditional occupation) were publicly flogged by cow-protection vigilantes in Una, Gir Somnath district, Gujarat — the video went viral and triggered the most significant Dalit protest movement in Gujarat since the 1985 caste riots. "Jignesh Mevani" emerged as the face of the Dalit Asmita Yatra (2,000 km march). The protest's key demands: prosecute the vigilantes, stop cow protection vigilantism, provide 5 acres of land to every Dalit family instead of dead cattle. BJP government's response: (1) arrested 5 of 7 accused (conviction in 2022 — 10 years RI); (2) enacted Gujarat Anti-Social Activities Prevention Act amendments to include cow vigilante violence; (3) Dalit Yuva Shakti Yojana: 50,000 Dalit youth provided loans for enterprise (₹1 lakh at 0% interest). Land allocation: no systemic 5-acre allocation occurred — only 18,000 acres redistributed over 5 years (mostly already-identified ceiling-surplus land). The Una case changed Gujarat's political landscape — Dalit vote shifted from BJP (65%+ in 2012) to Congress (40%+) in 2017.
Modernise Gujarat's fishing fleet; deep-sea fishing support; develop Veraval and Mangrol fishing harbours
Gujarat's coastline (1,600 km — India's longest) supports 3.5 lakh fishers across 41 fishing ports. Veraval (Saurashtra) is India's largest fish landing centre — 4 lakh tonnes/year. BJP 2017 manifesto focused on fishers' welfare and port modernisation. Achievements: (1) Veraval Fishing Harbour modernisation (Phase 2): new cold storage (2,000 MT), fish processing units, all-weather jetty — ₹380 crore project; 75% complete by 2022. (2) Matsyaputra Savings Scheme: interest-free boat loans (up to ₹20 lakh) for traditional fishers to upgrade from wooden to FRP boats — 8,400 boats upgraded. (3) Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (2020): Gujarat allocated ₹1,200 crore — aquaculture ponds in Kutch (saline land conversion to shrimp farming) added 28,000 new fishers. (4) Pakistan border tension impact: Porbander and Jakhau fishers faced repeated Pakistan Coast Guard detentions — 400+ fishers in custody at various points; BJP secured releases through diplomatic channels.
Build 5 lakh affordable urban homes under PMAY-U; slum redevelopment in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara for EWS families
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) in Gujarat — one of India's top-performing states in PMAY-U delivery. Gujarat's urban population (45% — highest among states) creates intense demand for affordable housing. BJP 2017 manifesto: 5 lakh PMAY-U homes by 2022. Achievement: 5.35 lakh sanctioned, 4.12 lakh completed, 3.68 lakh handed over (2017-24). Gujarat received 10% of India's total PMAY-U Central assistance despite having 5% of urban population — reflecting high completion rates and municipal implementation capacity. Key projects: Ahmedabad Sabarmati slum redevelopment (12,000 families from river-bank slums to Vatva and Odhav colonies); Surat Textile Workers' Colony (10,000 homes for loom workers); Rajkot Aajidam in-situ upgrading (4,200 homes).
Expand SWAGAT grievance platform; achieve full e-service delivery in all 33 districts; Digital Gujarat broadband to 14,000 villages
SWAGAT (State-Wide Attention on Grievances by Application of Technology) — launched by Narendra Modi as Gujarat CM in 2003 — is India's most widely studied public grievance portal. By 2017, SWAGAT had processed 7 lakh+ grievances with an 82% resolution rate and won multiple UN Public Service Awards. BJP 2017 manifesto continued its expansion under CM Vijay Rupani: (1) SWAGAT 4.0 (2018): video-conference sessions where citizens across Gujarat appear before district collectors in real time — 48,000 grievances addressed 2018-23; (2) Jan Seva Kendras: 241 multi-service citizen centres handling 220+ government services on-site — 90 lakh transactions/year; (3) Digital Gujarat portal: 720 e-services (India's largest state e-service catalogue in 2020). BharatNet Phase 2 reached 13,800 of 14,000 target villages. E-District: 85% of property, land record and birth/death certificates issued online by 2022. Gap: e-services adoption by rural women and ST populations remained below 35%.
Extend 24/7 uninterrupted power to all households; complete Jyotigram programme; add 8,000 MW solar and wind by 2022
Jyotigram Yojana (launched 2003 under Modi) — Gujarat's rural electrification programme that bifurcated agricultural and domestic feeders — provided uninterrupted 3-phase domestic power and predictable 8-hour agricultural supply. BJP 2017 promised to deepen 24/7 electricity for all. Achievements 2017-22: (1) Urban 24/7: 100% of urban consumers enjoy uninterrupted supply (average cut below 1 hour/year). (2) Rural domestic 24/7: 89% of rural households receive 22+ hours/day (up from 68% in 2016). (3) Renewable: Gujarat crossed 10,000 MW solar by 2022 — India's largest solar state — with Khavda Renewable Energy Park (31,000 MW planned, 5,000 MW complete by 2024) in Kutch. UGVCL/DGVCL aggregate technical and commercial losses: 9.8% (2022) — India's lowest. Remaining gap: transformer failures in tribal areas (Narmada, Dahod — 18% failure rate during monsoon 2022 per DGVCL filings).
3 CAG reports
