Delhi’s Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, became emotional while inaugurating the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence in Daryapur Kalan, Bawana, on Wednesday. Kejriwal expressed his sadness over the imprisonment of his former deputy, Manish Sisodia, who had dreamed of the school’s creation. Sisodia is under judicial custody, and Kejriwal believes that he is being targeted unjustly for his work in building schools.
The Chief Minister explained that the construction of such schools is crucial to eradicating poverty in India. By providing free education that leads to high-paying jobs, families can break the cycle of poverty in one generation. Kejriwal mentioned the story of a plumber’s son who could earn a monthly salary of Rs 2.5-3 lakhs if he studied computer science at IIT after attending a government school.
Kejriwal also spoke about a new girls’ school that is being built in the area. He emphasized the importance of consulting with parents and seeking suggestions on how to improve their children’s education.
The Chief Minister criticized the BJP for attempting to dismantle the education system and harming Sisodia’s work. However, Kejriwal highlighted his determination to continue building schools despite the challenges faced.
In conclusion, the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence represents hope for the future of education in Delhi. Kejriwal’s dedication to the cause and his appreciation for Sisodia’s work were evident in his emotional speech. The school serves as a symbol of the fight against poverty and as a testament to the importance of education in achieving that goal.
