Citizen lounge by day, study hub by evening: New Delhi DM office opens doors to students
Called as a “citizen lounge-cum-new-age learning centre”, the space was inaugurated by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday. It will function as a community learning centre after public hours, providing a conducive environment for students and job aspirants.
Gupta said that the facility is not merely a waiting lounge or a library, but a symbol of a new approach to governance and administration. Children from nearby settlements and economically weaker sections will be able to benefit from facilities that are not ordinarily or easily available to them, she highlighted.
