Ambekar Scholarship: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has made a big promise for the children of Dalit community before the Delhi Assembly elections. Announcing the 'Ambedkar Scholarship', the government said that any child from the Dalit community in Delhi would like to go to any college in the world for higher education, and the Delhi government would bear the entire expense. “No child of the Dalit community should be deprived of education, if the child wants to study in any top university of the world, then the Delhi government will bear the entire expense,”

'Children will follow the path of Baba Saheb'- Arvind Kejriwal

Arvind Kejriwal said, “Just like Baba Saheb studied in the country and did PHD in two subjects, during that time he faced shortage of money. Today we are breathing in independent India. Today a Dalit child should not face any kind of problem in studying. If any child wants to follow the path shown by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.

Arvind Kejriwal's reaction to Amit Shah's statement

During this, Arvind Kejriwal said, “Three days ago, the country's Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Amit Shah insulted Baba Saheb Ambedkar inside the Parliament. He made fun of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. I consider myself a devotee of BR Ambedkar. I felt very sad about his insult. We will condemn any party or leader in the Parliament of independent India for insulting Ambedkar.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “In such a situation, he is announcing a big scheme (Ambekar Scholarship) in the honor of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. We cannot imagine the struggle he has had to undergo in his life to get education. In 1915, he obtained his PhD degree from Columbia. Today I want that no child of Dalit community should be left behind in getting higher education due to lack of money.”
