New Delhi: With the BJP-led Delhi government completing 100 days in office, Cabinet minister Ashish Sood on Wednesday listed out the achievements of the departments under him, asserting that the government is working for the welfare of the people in the capital city.

Addressing a press conference, Sood, whose portfolios include education, home, power, and urban development, said the government has released grant-in-aid of Rs 417 crore to 12 Delhi University colleges fully funded by it and other universities.

"The previous government did not release grants to DU where students from middle-class families study. But we released the money on April 1," he said.

The minister also said the government repaired 2,500 flats for the EWS (economically weaker section) category and allocated a budget of Rs 700 crore to the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).
