The high power advisory body will act as a bridge between experts and government besides working as a channel to get feedback from common people and various interest groups.
“We will strive to bring the best available technology to fulfil the promises in our 70-point action plan and also promises made in the manifesto. We will invite opinion from experts, common people and various interest groups through all the possible measures of dialogue- public meetings, seminars, conferences, presentations and also through online communication,” said Ashish Khetan.
“We will not confine to just the promises made in our political manifesto but also evolve as per the needs of changing requirements of Delhiites. DDC will strive for appropriate solutions to a range of civic issues by studying good practices, policies and plans from across the country and the world,” he added. Ashish was appointed with immediate effect and the first meeting of DDC is scheduled on Tuesday. It is important to mention that Khetan is the man considered behind ‘Delhi Dialogues’ with various stake holders which resulted in an effective manifesto for AAP.
Initially, the Commission will form 4-5 issue based task force which may increase to 15 or more. Some of the initial task forces will be on issues like women’s safety and empowerment, e-governance, CCTV & wi-fi services, comprehensive waste management and sanitation, rejuvenating and reviving the Yamuna and waterbodies in Delhi (including ponds, lakes, tanks and rivers), affordable and clean energy and promoting entrepreneurship and creating employment.
“The commission will work on a new model of good governance and strike to continue the process of dialogue which was the basis of manifesto of AAP,” said Manish Sisodia, deputy Chief Minister announcing the decision of the Cabinet. “Delhi is the prism through which India is perceived by the world. Hence an efficient administration, holistic development and a tangible sense of safety and security are absolutely necessary for Delhi,” he added.
Delhi Chief Secretary, Deputy Chief Minister, finance secretary, secretary to Chief Minister will also be members in the Commission. The chairman will also hand pick three more members for the Commission.
