Highlighting the significant progress made in Delhi’s government schools, the Chief Minister emphasised the government’s understanding of the importance of education. He also shared a personal anecdote, revealing his choice to stay in India after completing his studies at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT).
Addressing the gathering, Kejriwal said, “When we formed the government in Delhi eight years ago, we were all new to politics. Some of us had come here after working at an NGO that worked in the slums of the city.”
“Our vision at the time was to provide good quality education to all the children in Delhi. It could be the children from rich or poor families, but we wanted everyone to get the best education in the country. This is because we were clear that without good quality education for our children, we can never become a developed nation.”
