Five education infrastructure projects landed in Delhi on Monday, October 12, 2026 — from a brand-new co-ed school in Dwarka to high-tech labs at a top engineering university — as Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for a clutch of facilities under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan (Service Resolve Campaign).

What was inaugurated in Dwarka and beyond

The centrepiece of the event was the inauguration of a new co-educational Senior Secondary School in Dwarka Sector 16-B, expanding formal schooling capacity in one of Delhi's fastest-growing residential zones. Alongside it, a new girls' hostel at the NSUT East Campus was opened — a facility aimed at improving residential access for female engineering students at Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT).

Three Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) across the city received High-Tech Centres of Excellence, intended to modernise vocational training with contemporary equipment and curricula. The CM also laid the foundation stone for an Advanced Manufacturing Lab and Faculty Office Building at NSUT, signalling a push toward research-grade infrastructure at the institution.

G.B. Pant Integrated College: Okhla gets a new anchor

In a move with particular significance for south-east Delhi, Gupta performed the shilnyas (foundation-laying) of the G.B. Pant Integrated College and Polytechnic in Okhla. An integrated college-polytechnic model under one roof offers students a pathway from diploma-level technical education straight into degree programmes — a structure designed to reduce the dropout gap between vocational and higher education.

Viksit Bharat framing and BJP's education pitch for Delhi

Gupta explicitly linked the projects to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Viksit Bharat (Developed India) vision, stating that Delhi's youth will play a 'major role' in realising that national goal. 'Our effort is that every young person in Delhi benefits from new opportunities and contributes to the country's progress through their talent,' she said.

Cabinet colleague Ashish Sood and MLA Sandeep Sahrawat were present at the event. The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan serves as a programmatic umbrella under which the BJP-led Delhi government has been rolling out public-welfare announcements since taking office in early 2025 after ending AAP's decade-long run in the capital.

Five projects, two inaugurations, three foundation stones — and a government that knows Delhi's next electoral test will be fought, in large part, on whether today's concrete actually becomes tomorrow's classroom.

Point of View

Making the Delhi government's record legible within the broader Modi brand. The Okhla polytechnic and ITI upgrades are the more substantive bets: if implemented, they address the vocational-to-higher-education pipeline that has historically underserved Delhi's working-class youth. Whether the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan becomes a durable policy vehicle or a campaign-season label will depend on completion timelines the government has yet to publicly commit to.
