Parts of his constituency that never got water supply have seen a major improvement in the supply system, 2.5 km of new water pipelines were inaugurated and 4 new tube wells were also installed to augment the water demand in the area.

The MLA also conducted various late-night inspections to ensure the proper supply of water and is continuously working towards the goal of ensuring 100% water supply in all the areas of his constituency. He also laid down the foundation of a project to revive a water body in the Todapur-Dasghara village. The dried-up lake will be rejuvenated through rainwater harvesting.

Within a year 35 new road projects have also been initiated by the MLA, 9.73 crores of the total budget has been used towards the road development. Roads have been developed and built in areas where no development took place for decades. The development of roads would have been incomplete without proper street lighting; therefore more than 2000 new street lights have also been installed in various parts of the Rajinder Nagar constituency. 

Internet access for all, 150 Wifi hotspots installed 

The MLA also kept in mind the increasing need for internet access for all and installed 150 new Wifi hotspots, which is approximately 50% more than any other constituencies on average. Alongside this, more than 2300 locations for CCTV cameras have also been identified and the installation of the CCTV cameras will start soon.  MLA Raghav Chadha also believes in being accessible to the public and therefore, regular Janta Darbars are also organised at his MLA office where local residents come forward to meet the MLA without any prior appointment.
