Inaugurating the conference Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit emphasized on the use of alternative energy, especially solar energy.

Prof. P B Sharma, Vice-Chancellor DTU, Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta and several energy experts from India and other countries, including USA, were present on the occasion.

Year 2009 has been unique for the national capital Delhi in terms of education prestigious Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology (NSIT) elevated as National Institute of Technology (NIT) category to cater the need to quality technical education on one hand Delhi College of Engineering became Delhi Technological University (DTU) on the other hand.

Two other universities, Ambedkar University and National Law University were already been established in 2008. Government schools performed much better than the much- hyped Public schools, Central Schools and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya. Students of government schools have achieved 124 merit certificates in senior secondary examinations.

In a major step the HRD ministry decided to abolish the 10th board examination and made it optional. Establishment of 16 new central universities, decision to allow evening polytechnics and engineering college were major steps this year.
