Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday (June 16, 2026) inaugurated a ‘Citizen Lounge-cum-New Age Learning Centre’ at the New Delhi District Magistrate office complex, aimed at improving public facilities and making administrative services more citizen-friendly.
The facility will also serve as a space for learning and skill development for young people.
During her visit, Ms. Gupta inspected the citizen lounge, a library and reading corner, and a newly constructed toilet block. She described the initiative as an example of good governance and said citizens visiting government offices should have a dignified and comfortable experience, which remains a priority for the Delhi government.
According to a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office, the lounge will be developed into a knowledge and skill development centre. Books on law, administration, career guidance and competitive examinations will be made available.
Computers will also be installed to provide access to digital resources. The centre will host career counselling sessions, skill development programmes, expert talks, workshops and youth interaction programmes on a regular basis.
Ms. Gupta said the facility is not merely a waiting area or a library, but reflects a broader approach to governance. She added that children from nearby settlements and economically weaker sections will be able to use the space for studying and access resources that are otherwise not easily available to them.
