2047 vision, ‘four-S’ plan for infra: CM presents ‘Developed Delhi’ roadmap at NITI Aayog meeting

“Looking ahead to 2047, the Chief Minister outlined a clear vision: access to nutritious food, clean drinking water, inclusive and quality education, universal healthcare, skill development, high-tech research, waste-free ecosystems, and heritage conservation. The Delhi government is actively pursuing these goals,” said the Chief Minister’s office (CMO) in a statement.

The Chief Minister stressed that top-quality public infrastructure is the foundation for holistic development, which the city government is pursuing through a “four-S” approach: Scope, Scale, Speed, and Skill. “Seamless connectivity and smart surveillance are central to redefining Delhi’s urban identity,” said officials, quoting her.

Taking a potshot at the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Gupta, ahead of the meeting earlier in the day, said in a post on X , “Today, after many years, we are going to represent Delhi in the Governing Council meeting of Niti Aayog. Due to the conduct of the previous irresponsible governments, the issue of Delhi’s rights was not being raised in the commission meeting, but now, the double-engine (BJP) government is on track.”

“..We will present our roadmap for a viksit (developed) Delhi for a developed India to the heads of all the states of the country. Today, we will also present the aspirations and expectations of the people of Delhi for the development of Delhi before the Niti Aayog,” she added.

After the meeting, the CM said that her government’s top priority is to clean Yamuna, enhance infrastructure, and provide direct tap water to all households. She thanked PM Modi for his full support and cooperation on this issue.

Officials also said that the CM highlighted her vision for making Delhi pollution-free. Besides, the CM outlined the government’s ongoing projects and its work in different sectors like implementation of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, procurement of new electric buses under DEVI scheme, implementation of the National Education Policy 2020, PM Surya Ghar Yojana, installation of 40 STPs, and other key projects.

On cleaning Yamuna, Gupta sought support from the Centre and neighbouring states to collectively restore the river’s glory.

The Chief Minister further announced that Delhi will soon host its first-ever ‘Investor Summit’ under the leadership of PM Modi, unlocking investment opportunities and placing Delhi firmly on the global investment map.

The government also eyes developing a new tourism circuit and strengthening support for Start-up India and Stand-up India, two separate but related government initiatives in India focused on promoting entrepreneurship and economic growth, said officials.

“With the guidance of our visionary PM and support from NITI Aayog, we are not just building a clean, inclusive, and empowered Delhi by 2047, but also positioning it as a global model for urban governance,” the CM said.

Meanwhile, in another post on X, she said, “We are fully committed to establishing Delhi’s role not only as a supporting but also as a pillar in realising the vision of a developed India. This is not merely a development plan but a national campaign towards fulfilling the dreams, possibilities, and building a strong India for the coming generations, and it is a matter of pride for all of us to be a part of it.”

“Delhi is now playing a leading role in development under the guidance of the Prime Minister,” she added.
