The Commission was formed with the aim to provide a unique model of collaborative and inclusive development in Delhi.

The Commission was tasked with the role to consider ideas, identify the best practices and policies from around the world, and translate these into concrete recommendations to the Government of NCT of Delhi.

Since its formation, the Commission has submitted a number of policy reports and recommendations to the Government of NCT of Delhi on a wide array of development issues.
