The Delhi Village Development Board (DVDB) has approved INR 1,089 crore for 444 infrastructure projects - the largest-ever allocation for village development in the capital. Formed to oversee both rural and urbanised areas, the board aims to improve living standards and promote sustainable growth. Key projects include 260 roads, 77 chaupals, 32 community halls, and 10 cremation grounds across villages like Taimoor Nagar, Tughlakabad, Tekhand, and Bawana. This milestone follows a previous INR 793 crore allocation in 2021. The DVDB's initiative marks a major push toward bridging infrastructure gaps and fostering inclusive development across Delhi's evolving village landscape.

The board, chaired by a BJP MLA, succeeded the Delhi Rural Development Board and is charged with overseeing development across both rural and urbanised villages, with the aim of uplifting living conditions and promoting sustainable growth.
Among the planned initiatives are 260 roads, 77 chaupals, 32 community halls and 10 cremation grounds. Villages slated for development include Taimoor Nagar, Tughlakabad, Tekhand, Meethapur, Bawana, Bijwasan, Aya Nagar, Fatehpur Beri, Maidan Garhi and several others. Projects were selected based on proposals submitted by local representatives and assessed for impact.
Since its inception, the DVDB has held multiple meetings; previously, it approved a record allocation of INR 793 crore in December 2021.
This landmark fund allocation by the DVDB signals a renewed commitment to addressing infrastructure deficits in both rural and urbanised villages of Delhi. Looking ahead, the success of the plan will depend on prompt execution, sustained funding support and effective local oversight. If implemented well, it could set a model for urban-rural integration and inclusive development in capital-region villages.
