Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday lauded the “exemplary work” by the Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC) — the state government’s think-tank — and said that the body has played a key role in several programmes rolled out in the Capital over the past seven years, statements that come two days after the agency’s vice-chairperson was served a notice for allegedly misusing a public office.
The think-tank, which was founded in 2015, has been involved in 70 key Delhi government programmes, Kejriwal said during a press briefing on Wednesday, adding that DDC supplements the state cabinet’s work.
“Ministers are usually too occupied with work, so DDC supplements their responsibilities by framing new schemes, consulting experts and stakeholders, implementing them and monitoring them,” said Kejriwal, who heads the agency.
