Development Minister Kapil Mishra, board chairman Rajkumar Chauhan, and vice-chairman Gajendra Singh Daral attended the meeting. The projects approved include construction and improvement of roads, drainage systems, ponds, community centers, parks, cremation grounds, and sports fields. These initiatives span 30 assembly constituencies and four parliamentary constituencies.
Gupta directed officials to prepare area-specific project lists for better transparency and faster execution. She also suggested assigning Lok Sabha constituencies to board members for more effective monitoring. The government has assured that there will be no shortage of funds and emphasized equal access to basic facilities for both rural and urban residents.
Execution of these projects will involve multiple agencies, including the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the Irrigation and Flood Control Department, ensuring a coordinated approach. Officials aim to provide improved amenities and elevate the quality of life for rural residents while maintaining close supervision to prevent delays.
