Delhi LG asks AAP govt to address DSFDC salary crisis, revive corporation

According to a statement, the LG advised the Delhi government to revive the “once robust” corporation, lying defunct due to “apathy and neglect” for the last 10 years.

The employees, who have not received salaries for the past nine months, recently met with the LG to voice their grievances, it stated.

“The delegation informed the LG about the financial hardship faced by employees, including the tragic suicide of one staff member on campus, and the mental distress caused by continued financial insecurity,” the statement read.

Established in 1983, the DSFDC was a key institution providing financial support and training to marginalised sections, it said.

It mentioned that the DSFDC successfully ran programmes such as economic development schemes, institutional credit facilitation, and self-employment initiatives.

The LG highlighted the urgent need for restructuring and financial support to restore the corporation’s functioning.
