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.
The Delhi Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, has approved a substantial salary hike for teachers working under the Vocational Education and Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan programmes. Around 1,131 vocational teachers will now receive ₹38,100 per month, up from the earlier ₹20,000–₹23,000 range, while salaries of teachers at 784 Samagra Shiksha centres have been raised from ₹21,000 to ₹35,420 per month — bringing them at par with primary and upper primary teachers. CM Rekha Gupta said the decision is not merely financial but a recognition of the dedication of teachers who work in challenging conditions to bring out-of-school and dropout children back into the education mainstream. The revision also covers teachers at Special Training Centres, which serve as a lifeline for children who have never attended school, helping reintegrate them into mainstream education — a goal the Chief Minister described as a top priority for the Delhi government. Reaffirming the government's commitment to inclusive education, CM Rekha Gupta said motivated and financially secure teachers are key to delivering quality education, adding that regular monitoring, parental counselling and inter-departmental coordination are being strengthened across all Special Training Centres to ensure no child in Delhi is left behind.

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta on Friday launched the 'Catch the Rain 2026' campaign at a Delhi Jal Board event, unveiling the official water mascot 'Neera' and renewing the city's focus on rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge. Reaffirming PM Narendra Modi's call of 'Catch the Rain, where it falls, when it falls', CM Gupta said water is not merely a resource but the foundation of life and a safeguard for future generations. As part of the campaign, rainwater harvesting systems will be made mandatory for all buildings measuring 100 square metres or more, with citizens adopting the system eligible for a rebate of up to 10% on their water bills. The Delhi Jal Board will provide financial support of up to ₹50,000 along with technical assistance for installations, while rainwater harvesting will also be made compulsory across all government offices with existing systems brought under digital monitoring for accountability and efficiency. CM Rekha Gupta said Delhi's water crisis demands immediate and decisive action, with rising population, rapid urban development and depleting groundwater levels making conservation a shared responsibility. Describing coordinated efforts under a 'triple-engine government' with full central support and municipal cooperation, she urged every citizen to adopt rainwater harvesting across homes, rooftops and institutions — emphasising that 'Catch the Rain must become a commitment, not just a slogan.'

On the occasion of Civil Services Day, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Sardar Taranjit Singh Sandhu and Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta jointly presented the inaugural 'Chief Minister's Awards for Excellence and Innovation in Governance and Public Service Delivery 2026', honouring 35 outstanding officials across four categories for their exceptional contributions to strengthening governance and improving public service delivery. LG Sandhu said civil service is about upholding public trust, emphasising that true governance lies in how transparently and efficiently services reach the last person. CM Rekha Gupta described civil service as a commitment to nation-building, adding that the awards — inspired by the Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence launched in 2014 — will foster a healthy competitive environment and strengthen work culture across Delhi's administration. Awardees were selected through a transparent high-level committee chaired by the Chief Secretary, recognising innovation, emergency management and digital governance improvements across departments including Education, Revenue, Health, PWD, DMRC, DJB and Tihar Jail, among others. The Delhi government announced that these awards will now be conferred annually every Civil Services Day, reaffirming its commitment to taking Delhi's governance model to global standards through citizen-centric policies and administrative excellence.
