Swinging into action immediately after the announcement of the Rozgar Budget, the Kejriwal Government has expedited the groundwork for bringing the announced schemes on track. In this direction, Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia, who holds the finance portfolio, held a review meeting with officials of Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (DSIIDC) on Wednesday. He reviewed 5 projects including setting up of cloud kitchen clusters, redevelopment of non conforming industrial area, redevelopment of Gandhinagar as “Garment Hub”, establishment of new electronic city, redevelopment of flatted factory complex at Jhandewalan under redevelopment of conforming areas. While reviewing the scheme, Shri Sisodia said, “Delhi Government has begun working on the schemes announced in this year’s Rozgar Budget in a phased manner. We are in conversation with different stakeholders and agencies to expedite the process of designing policies and implementation of these schemes for the benefit of residents of Delhi.”
Shri Manish Sisodia said that we need to work in a collaborative manner taking into account the needs and suggestions of our stakeholders and our citizens. If we continue to work in collaboration and with this speed, no one would be able to stop Delhi from having per capita income equal to that of Singapore by 2047.
He further directed the officials to hasten the work on these schemes so that the target of generating new jobs through these projects could be achieved sooner.
Along with the other schemes which are in the designing phase, the Deputy Chief Minister reviewed the scheme for redevelopment of conforming areas that focuses on utilising the dysfunctional land parcels in existing industrial areas and engaging them in alternative economic use to increase economic activity within conforming industrial areas. Shri Sisodia said that under this scheme a flatted factory complex at Jhandewalan would be redeveloped as a world-class complex to attract industries. Development of conforming areas like Jhandewalan will help Delhi Government generate employment opportunities by promoting labor-intensive manufacturing and service industrial activities.
