Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched “Delhi@2047” initiative that aims to turn the Capital into a global city by 2047. The initiative will support government's partnerships with corporates and citizen groups to work towards policies and strategies for the development of the capital.
Addressing a video conference involving policymakers, Kejriwal said that the long term goals include increasing Delhi’s per-capita income to match that of Singapore and bidding for hosting the Olympic Games in 2048.
Kejriwal said that several sectors in Delhi, such as education, health, power and public services, have witnessed good growth and improvement over the years. However, several sectors need more work in the days to come.
Kejriwal further said that the goal of a 24x7 supply of water across the city needs to be accomplished immediately.
