Summary
सारांश
Between 2015 and 2020, Delhi under AAP saw major gains in education, healthcare, and fiscal transparency. Schools were upgraded, teachers trained, and neighbourhood Mohalla Clinics made free healthcare easier to reach. Poverty relief came through cheaper electricity, free lifeline water, and more homes on tap water, though sewage treatment lagged. Jobs got a boost from skill centres and wage hikes, but youth unemployment remained a challenge. Infrastructure grew mainly via Delhi Metro expansion, while buses and roads improved slowly. Women’s mobility and safety saw a jump with free bus travel, but air quality stayed dangerously poor despite policy efforts. Law & order remained outside state control, limiting direct impact. Overall, Delhi scored high in welfare access and governance openness, moderate in job creation and infrastructure, and low in environmental health.
