Speaking about the agreement, the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia stated, “We are committed to providing global exposure to all its students studying in Delhi government schools and giving flight to their dreams.”
“As a part of our programme to introduce a prominent global language in government schools, German is one of the first languages that students will learn,” he added.
