              New Delhi: Delhi Chief 
              Minister Sheila Dikshit said Sunday 14,000 new posts of school 
              teachers have been created in a bid to ensure proper 
              implementation of the Right to Education Act in the national 
              capital. 
               
              "This will also go a long way in enhancing job opportunities," she 
              told a public rally in west Delhi's Tri Nagar area. 
               
              "A number of new universities have also been commissioned and a 
              separate Women's Technical University would be commissioned soon," 
              added the chief minister. 
               
              "The gains of development have percolated to all parts of the 
              city. No colony or area will remain deprived of the benefit of 
              development," she said. 
               
              On the public distribution system (PDS), Dikshit said: "The 
              government is going to implement a new scheme under pilot project 
              to overcome deficiencies in present PDS where the vulnerable 
              sections of the society will be provided cash assistance in lieu 
              of PDS ration." 
               
              "We are also set to commence work on the 750 MW Bamnauli Power 
              Project. The power generation from Bawana has started," she added.
