Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has pledged a historic shift in the city's approach to its urban poor. She announced her government's commitment to providing genuine housing solutions for slum dwellers in Delhi, eschewing previous practices of merely renaming settlements.
In a move to enhance educational opportunities, Gupta revealed the creation of 500 additional seats at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, a prestigious institution in Delhi University. This expansion aims to make quality higher education more accessible to Delhi's youth.
Taking a critical stance on former administrations, Gupta lamented the stagnation in Delhi's higher education with no new colleges established in nearly two decades, and encouraged students to look beyond academics to contribute to nation-building.
