Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated and laid the foundation for several transformative projects aimed at reshaping Delhi’s educational infrastructure. These initiatives mark a significant step toward modernising education facilities and promoting sustainability.
PM Modi inaugurated the CBSE Integrated Office Complex in Dwarka, a landmark project built at an estimated cost of ₹300 crore. The state-of-the-art facility has been designed to meet Platinum Rating standards by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), incorporating energy-efficient and eco-friendly features. The complex is expected to streamline the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) operations, enhancing services for schools and students across India.
In another milestone, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for the Veer Savarkar College in Roshanpura, Najafgarh. This project, part of the government’s broader strategy to expand higher education opportunities, will provide modern facilities to support academic excellence. Additionally, he initiated three new infrastructure projects for Delhi University, with a combined investment of ₹600 crore. These projects include the development of the Eastern Campus at Surajmal Vihar and the Western Campus at Dwarka, which aim to enrich the learning environment and foster innovation.
The emphasis on eco-friendly construction and integrating advanced facilities reflect the government’s holistic approach to sustainable development. The CBSE Integrated Office Complex is a model for future infrastructure projects, while the Delhi University developments will expand access to quality education and research opportunities.
Other projects inaugurated
In addition to educational projects, the Prime Minister inaugurated 1,675 newly constructed flats for residents of JJ clusters at Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar. This initiative aims to provide a better and healthier living environment equipped with proper amenities for economically weaker sections. Beneficiaries are required to contribute a nominal amount towards the construction and maintenance of these flats, making housing more accessible.
PM Modi also inaugurated two major urban redevelopment projects: the World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar and the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II quarters at Sarojini Nagar. The World Trade Centre has transformed the area by replacing over 600 dilapidated quarters with state-of-the-art commercial towers, offering around 34 lakh square feet of premium commercial space with advanced amenities. The GPRA project includes 28 towers housing over 2,500 residential units, emphasising eco-conscious living with features like rainwater harvesting systems and solar-powered waste compactors.
These developments underscore the government’s commitment to enhancing Delhi’s infrastructure, focusing on sustainable development and improved quality of life for its residents.
