Delhi is the heart of the country and is known for its cultural heritage and historical importance. The city is home to some famous architectures from different eras. The religious diversity is easily distinguishable along with the diverse cultural impact of the Mughals, ancient Indians, and the British. Culturally the city is divided into Purani (Old) Delhi and Nayi (New) Delhi. Old Delhi is known for its crowded lanes and ancient cultural monuments. 

The city, home to people of all ages, offers something to everyone. 

•  Fast growth and opportunities: 

Delhi has the highest GDP. Due to the rapid commercial advancements, the city offers employment to the people of every qualification. The city is exciting and full of promises for the enthusiastic and passionate youngsters.

• Infrastructure: 

Delhi is very well-connected by the flights to all the major cities. The clean and well-developed Delhi metro connects all the major suburbs, including Gurugram, Noida, and Faridabad, saving the commuters from the heavy traffic.

• Education: 

Delhi is also home to some of the country’s best educational institutes like Delhi University (DU), All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and many more.  

• Cultural Diversity: 

People from all across the country come to the city seeking employment and settle here. Even if you are new to the city, you’ll fit in the diverse culture of the societies easily. 

• Chance to enhance skills:

Apart from the top-notch colleges, the place also has various vocational colleges and skill developing courses. 

• Leisure 

The city hosts various annual exhibitions and events organized by the museums and other companies. Whatever your interests are, you’ll find something for yourself to enjoy. Delhi also has numerous malls, museums, and other attractions to be explored on lazy weekends. 

While there are many perks of staying in Delhi, it comes at its price.

• Pollution:

Delhi is ranked amongst the most polluted cities in the world. The air quality index is the poorest in Delhi. The holy water of the Yamuna river has also become highly polluted. The extremely polluted waters are not clean enough even after treatment. 

• Population:

Delhi has the fastest growing population in the country. Streets are always crowded, and the traffic is extremely mismanaged. Thousands of public and private vehicles are on the road all day. 

• High crime rates:

Delhi is ill-famed as the rape capital of the country. Other crimes like robbery, eve-teasing, snatching, and even murders are quite frequent. Some areas are even a safe place for criminals. The crime rates in these areas are as high as 60% making them a nightmare to live in. 

• Low living standard:

Delhi indeed has the highest per capita income, and getting a job is easy, but none of these provides adequate living standards. Several migrants from different states live in slums or unauthorized overcrowded colonies.

• Rat race:

The people in the city are always in a mad rush to be somewhere or the other. The insane rush leads to frequent squabbles for anything and everything. 

• Traffic:

If you like exploring the city on foot, Delhi roads aren’t for you. Taking public transport would mean hours of traffic jams. The metro is also jam-packed with people during the peak office hours. 

• Health care:

Even though the city is home to the best government (AIIMS) and private (Apollo) hospitals of the country, proper healthcare is not affordable to all. The waiting line in government hospitals is long, and treatment in private hospitals isn’t affordable by all. 

For someone looking for job opportunities, better housing, educational and technological access, Delhi NCR is the city where they should be. With all its cons, the city is the center of economic development and offers vast growth opportunities for all.
