Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurate Sankalp Girls Hostel

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and Union Minister Khattar open Sankalp Girls Hostel for civil services aspirants while addressing water tanker reforms.

"Education is the most important ladder for the progress of the country... - Delhi CM Rekha Gupta"

New Delhi, April 21

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday inaugurated the Sankalp Girls Hostel at Sankalp Bhawan in n Dhirpur, Adarsh Nagar Assembly constituency.

At the inauguration, the CM said that education was an important most ladder for progress in the country, further stating that the hostel would allow daughters from all over the county stay and prepare for civil services.

Speaking to the media, the CM said "Education is the most important ladder for the progress of the country... The way this hostel has been inaugurated today, through Sankalp for civil services, daughters from all over the country can come and stay here and prepare for civil services. This is a very big facility..."

Earlier on April 20, the CM flagged off 1,111 water tanks for the Jal Board and said that people would be able to monitor the location of the GPS-enabled tankers with the help of the tanker application.

Hitting out at the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi, Gupta said there was a "leakage" in the entire system in the name of the tanker mafia. She stated that the whereabouts of the water tanks were unknown earlier. However, she added that the routes undertaken by the tankers could be monitored since they have GPS installed.

"In the previous government, there was a leakage in the entire system in the name of tanker mafias. There was corruption. Water was sent to the common people, but no one knew where it went. The new government of Delhi is dedicated to providing clean water. Today, 1,111 tankers are being sent, they are GPS-enabled so that they can be tracked. The routes of every tanker can be recorded. People will be able to monitor the location with the help of the tanker app," Gupta told reporters here.

This is such a wonderful initiative! Girls from smaller towns often struggle to find safe accommodation while preparing for competitive exams. Kudos to the government 👏 #WomenEmpowerment

The GPS-enabled water tankers are a smart move. Hope this brings more transparency to water distribution. Previous govt should have thought of this basic solution years ago!

While I appreciate the hostel initiative, I wish they'd focus more on improving existing government schools first. The quality of primary education needs urgent attention.

My sister stayed in a private hostel while preparing for UPSC - the fees were crazy! Government hostels like this will make education more accessible. Good job!

Hope they maintain this hostel properly. Many government facilities start well but deteriorate due to poor maintenance. Maybe involve alumni in oversight?

Both initiatives show practical thinking - helping students and solving water issues. More of this please, less political bickering! 🙌
