The Informal Discussion Group invites you to an interactive Q and A session with

Sheila Dikshit

(The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi)

Sheila Dikshit is the Chief Minister of Delhi. She is from the Indian National Congress. She was sworn in as the Chief Minister for a third consecutive term of the Government of Delhi state in January 2009 after pulling a victory in the November 2008 state elections.

She first came into the limelight when she was nominated by Indira Gandhi to the Indian delegation of the UN Commission on Status of Women. She thus began her journey into active politics and has not looked back. The developmental work that has gone into shaping Delhi, including the metro rail network, improved supply of water and electricity and better roads, is largely credited to her.

She holds a Master of Arts degree, having received her education in New Delhi. She is also the recipient of Doctor of Philosophy, honoris causa, from the University of Delhi.

Time: 8 P.M.

Date: 14th March, 2011
