The interaction brought together working women, teachers, sportspersons and students, who shared their experiences, expectations and suggestions directly with the Chief Minister.

Gupta listened to each participant, and assured them that their suggestions would be reflected in the upcoming budget. She emphasised that public participation is the strongest pillar of a ‘Viksit Delhi’, and the government aims to ensure that the budget addresses the needs of every section of society.
