Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday said that her government is continuously working towards the vision of a “Viksit Delhi” through various initiatives aimed at strengthening the sectors of education, healthcare, environment, sports, culture and infrastructure.
She said the government’s priority is not only to accelerate development works but also to ensure that every section of society is connected to the mainstream of progress.
Addressing the gathering at the “Viksit Malviya Nagar Sankalp Samaroh” held in the Malviya Nagar Assembly constituency, the Chief Minister expressed confidence that, with the cooperation of public representatives, social organisations and citizens, the area would emerge in the coming years as a model of development, public participation and social empowerment.
The programme was held at the NCUI Auditorium on Aurobindo Marg and was attended by New Delhi MP Bansuri Swaraj, Malviya Nagar MLA Satish Upadhyay, local residents, public representatives, social workers, students and several other dignitaries.
The Chief Minister also inaugurated an exhibition showcasing local development works and reviewed information related to ongoing projects and public welfare initiatives in the area.
Observing the various initiatives, Gupta said that the vision of a developed Delhi could be achieved only through strong local infrastructure, improved public amenities and active public participation.
Those present at the event also collectively listened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s radio programme, “Mann Ki Baat”.
Meanwhile, the Uma Niranjan Foundation presented bicycles to 15 meritorious students and economically disadvantaged girl students to promote education and women’s empowerment.
While distributing the bicycles, Gupta said that easy access to education is the right of every daughter and that such initiatives play an important role in helping girls become self-reliant and confident.
According to the Chief Minister, the government’s goal is to build a society where no girl’s education is hindered by economic or social barriers.
Extending her best wishes to the students, she encouraged them to pursue their dreams through education and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
