Delhi government will ensure Dalit kids become doctors, engineers: CM Arvind Kejriwal
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said the state government will provide all necessary financial assistance to the students who cannot afford coaching to pursue a career in medical and engineering.
Seeking to increase his Dalit outreach, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday assured that the state government will provide all necessary financial assistance to the students who cannot afford coaching to pursue a career in medical and engineering.
Arvind Kejriwal was speaking at a programme organised on the occasion of Valmiki Jayanti in the national capital.
"No one should leave their dreams of becoming a doctor or engineer unfulfilled due to lack of money. The Delhi government will provide the cost of coaching in medical or engineering if any student wants to pursue it but cannot afford," Arvind Kejriwal said at an event organised on Valmiki Jayanti in Wazirpur's JJ colony.
Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP convener, highlighted the various schemes introduced by the AAP government in Delhi to help the Dalit community.
Various events were organised across Delhi by the Aam Aadmi Party government on the occasion of Valmiki Jayanti on Sunday.
Capitalising on the Dalit and Valmiki vote banks is believed to be one of the campaign strategies of AAP ahead of the 2020 Delhi assembly elections.
Earlier, the AAP leaders and MLAs had launched a 'yatra' to inform the public about the Delhi government's work on water, power and health and also to seek suggestions.
