This will cover fifty-five thousand sq km of National Capital Region (NCR); which comprises of 24 districts of Delhi, Haryana, U.P. and Rajasthan.

This presents a unique opportunity to engage in cohesive planning and strategic investments in NCR. A primary focus is on providing essential education and training to NCR residents, preparing them for the challenges of the ongoing digital revolution in the country.

The overarching goal of the functional plan is to enhance the overall Quality of Life for NCR inhabitants, regardless of their urban or rural, affluent or less affluent status. Moreover, it aims to position NCR as a globally renowned yet affordable education and skill development hub for the region and beyond.”
