The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is currently preparing the master plan, which is expected to guide the city's growth over the next two decades. After taking office earlier this year, Gupta reviewed the draft, which had been in preparation for several years, and directed officials to develop a concrete and actionable plan. She noted that the draft lacked sufficient clarity initially and required strengthening to truly serve public interest.
Lieutenant Governor Saxena confirmed that full attention is being given to the master plan, with efforts to implement it at the earliest. He also highlighted the progress of the Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan (DGA), a rural development initiative launched in 2023. Under this program, a fund of INR 960 crore, previously unspent for years, was transferred to the DDA for project execution. Projects worth INR 760 crore have been completed so far, benefiting 50 villages.
The Chief Minister appreciated the LG's efforts in promoting rural development and emphasized that balanced growth requires attention to both urban and rural areas. She highlighted that developing villages alongside urban regions is vital for overall national progress. The DGA has launched 81 development projects, including renovations of community halls, roads, parks, and multipurpose centers, aimed at strengthening rural infrastructure. The initiative also encourages community participation in decision-making and targets the enhancement of infrastructure and civic amenities.
