New Delhi: With the BJP-led Delhi government completing 100 days in office, Cabinet minister Ashish Sood on Wednesday listed out the achievements of the departments under him, including releasing grant-in-aid of Rs 417 crore to 12 Delhi University colleges to introducing AI-based learning in government schools and announcing a fee regulation bill.
Addressing a press conference, Sood, whose portfolios include education, home, power, and urban development, said, “The Delhi government has released Rs 275 crore as the first instalment of funding to 12 fully state-funded Delhi University colleges, ensuring timely salaries and operational support.
“The previous government did not release grants to DU, where students from middle-class families study. But we released the money on April 1,” Sood said.
The minister also said the government repaired 2,500 flats for the EWS (economically weaker section) category and allocated a budget of Rs 700 crore to the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).
