Delhi AAP claims to create 2 million jobs, unveils blueprint of its 5 year plan under ‘Rozgar budget’

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia presented a “Rozgar Budget” in the Assembly today with an outlay of Rs 75,800 crore for the financial year 2022-23, focussing on creating 20 lakh jobs in five years by setting up an electronic city and promoting night economy, retail and wholesale markets in the national capital.
“The Rozgar Budget will take the economy of Delhi on the path of progress and generate lakhs of employment opportunities,” he asserted.
The Delhi government on Friday unveiled a detailed blueprint of its five-year plan to generate 20 lakh jobs under the ‘Rozgar Budget’ and set up department-wise targets to implement the AAP dispensation’s ambitious scheme.

Industrial areas, retail markets, startup policy and shopping festivals were major contributors to achieving the objective of providing 20 lakh jobs.

A high-level meeting was convened by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia on Friday to expedite the implementation of these schemes and set specific targets and timelines for different departments to achieve the goal.

In the meeting, Kejriwal said 20 lakh jobs in five years is perhaps a first-of-its-kind experiment in the budget-making exercise.

”Employment generation may be a challenge, but we’ve proven in Delhi that nothing is impossible. The whole world is looking at us and appreciating how we have transformed education, healthcare, electricity and water.

”We will overcome all challenges and make Delhi an example in the employment sector too,” an official statement quoted Kejriwal.
Sisodia, while presenting his eighth consecutive budget, had said new initiatives taken by Delhi government in next few months will boost economic recovery caused by Pandemic, poor implementation of GST and demnetisation.
