Dwarka is a sub city, located in the South West Delhi district of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. It is named after the legendary Dwaraka Kingdom. It is a short distance away from Gurgaon which is a major hub for large corporations in the country and about 10 Kms away from Indira Gandhi International Airport. With the opening up of the Airport Express Line, which has been built and being managed by Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, the travel time from the Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station to Airport is expected to be about 3 minutes.
Some parts of modern day Dwarka historically came under the colony of Pappan Kalan, which are now being developed under the 'Urban Expansion Projects' of the Delhi Development Authority.[1] One of the largest residential areas in Asia, it is supposed to have a "Zero Tolerance" policy towards common misuses of land and the transgressions of any existing laws and regulations, such as encroachments, which are frequently thought to be flouted in other parts of Delhi. It is also frequently referred to as the "Model Township" and is also thought to be the most organized and cleanest of all parts of Delhi and nearby townships. Dwarka is a part of the West Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.
Dwarka also boasts of some the widest and most developed road network for any colony in Delhi and nearby townships. Dwarka is also known for its higher quality and much better maintained infrastructure like roads etc. which many believe sets it apart from nearby townships.

The affected members of this scam have formulated an association called Association of Cooperative Affected Members (AOCAM) to fight for expediting the flat allotment process for these societies.
During last week of May, 2009 RCS/Secretary cooperative department of Delhi Government has asked for advise on allotment process for the 57 societies from Law department of Delhi Government specially with respect of charge sheeted members and those who have contested CBI charge sheet. Law department had provided the response in the month of October'2009. Subsequent to that the allotment of flats to cooperative members is still held up. RCS department has posted a public notice for 57 societies to submit their documents in October'09. Most of the societies from among 57 societies have already submitted their documents but RCS has not scrutinized nor forwarded the same to Chopra committee.
During the first week of 2010 about 11 Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) in Dwarka conducted self-allotment and began moving into their new flats, the Delhi government has written to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) asking the agency to evict them and termed the allotment 'illegal'.
Delhi Chief Minister Ms Sheela Dixit intervened on the same and conducted a workshop with Regaisrar Office and CGHS members to expedite the process of allotment in the month of Feb 2010. The Registrar of Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) has agreed to provide a single window of operation to reduce corruption and to expedite the allotment.
The RCS website has started posting the status of 57 CGHS for document scrutiny and completion. It seems the documents have not been returned by CBI to RCS office in many cases and DDA has created some legal obstructions relating to parking norms that prevents many CGHS getting a Completion Certificate (CC) or Provisional Occupancy certificate (POC).
Allotment process still remains in abeyance with RCS/cooperative department of Delhi Government, till that time about 6000 families which are part of these 57 societies will continue to suffer by living in rented homes and paying EMI for the loan for these apartments.
Consolidated statement status of the 57 societies as on Feb 2010 to facilitate one and all have a quick look. Out of 57 Societies, a majority of 36 societies have not yet received POC/CC. There are seven societies, which have undergone self-draw. Records of 20 societies from the CBI are yet to be received. 46 societies records are still under scrutiny.
57 societies have a total number of 5176 members (except LORDS CGHS LTD for which freeze number of members are not available). If these 5176 members pay an average property tax of Rs. 10000/- per year, the Govt gets Rs. 51760000/- p a and its citizens pay an average rent of Rs. 15000/- p m, aggregating to Rs. 931680000/- p a. Which means a loss of Rs. 6 Crore p.a to the State and Rs. 93 Crores to the Citizens pocket.
No concrete action was taken by Delhi government to resolve the apathy of the suffering members of the 48+57 cooperative societies, the CGHS members for about 6 societies again in the month of June, 2010 conducted self draw. Angered over the self draw of lots, Cooperative Minister Raj Kumar Chouhan said government will also cancel water and power connection to the flats and ask police to take strict action against the societies involved in the self draw.
The sub-city has been planned for an environment of convenience which contains essential facilities and services at different levels namely health, education, safety and security, cultural, and communication etc.
Dwarka is home to top engineering and law schools like Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology and National Law University.
