Rekha Gupta is currently serving as the 9th Chief Minister of Delhi, the capital of the country. Her tenure marks a historic moment, as it signifies the Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power in the national capital after nearly three decades. Her elevation to this position represents the culmination of more than three decades of unwavering commitment to public service and dedicated political engagement at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels.
As Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta’s governance philosophy is closely aligned with the collective vision of Team Modi and is driven by a clear mission to make Delhi healthier, better educated, and more equitable. She firmly believes that the city must receive the rights, opportunities, and development it has long been denied. Her approach to leadership is rooted in tireless work, honesty in intent, and focus on tangible outcomes, reflecting her conviction that real development is achieved through consistent action on the ground rather than rhetoric or empty promises.
Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta handed over appointment letters to 1,368 newly appointed teachers at a state-level ceremony at Bharat Mandapam, including 1,015 TGTs, 236 PGTs and 117 music teachers taking the total number of teachers appointed in 2026 to over 2,100, following 751 appointments made in April-May earlier this year. CM Rekha Gupta said the occasion was not merely about handing over appointment letters but about strengthening the responsibility of ensuring better education for lakhs of children in Delhi government schools. Recalling her school visits where students shared that several schools lacked teachers for subjects like science and music - with limited teachers handling multiple classes - she said the recruitment drive was a direct response to ground-level realities. She urged the newly appointed teachers to become not just subject experts but mentors, role models and guides for their students.Education Minister Ashish Sood said the government's goal is clear - wherever a teacher is needed, a teacher should be available, and every child in Delhi should have equal access to quality education. He reaffirmed that teacher recruitment, training and capacity building will continue on priority, with Delhi government schools being developed into institutions where modern infrastructure and smart classrooms are complemented by inspiring and dedicated teachers committed to nation-building.
