Delhi government to establish independent PWD cadre
Delhi is gearing up to launch an independent engineering team for its Public Works Department (PWD), moving away from relying on engineers sent by the central government.
With Cabinet approval expected soon, this change means PWD can finally hire, train, and promote its own engineers—right here in Delhi.
Move expected to speed up digital monitoring, quality checks
This new setup aims to fix years of project delays caused by frequent staff changes and shifting priorities.
Having a dedicated team trained for Delhi's unique needs should make public works projects smoother and more accountable.
Current CPWD engineers can either join the new crew or head back to their original jobs.
Plus, this move will help speed up digital monitoring and quality checks—so hopefully, city upgrades get done faster and better.
