‘Will ensure every Dalit child is educated’
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said he had vowed to fulfil Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s dream of ensuring that every Dalit child was educated. He was speaking at an event to celebrate Maharshi Valmiki and Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy, at the Thyagaraj Stadium.
During the event, a ‘Pratibha Samman Sammaroh’ was also organised as part of which the Chief Minister honoured 22 meritorious students from the Dalit community who passed out from Delhi Government schools with over 90% marks in Class XII.
“Today a very healthy tradition has commenced here. Till last year, Valmiki Prakatotsav was celebrated well within the communities... This is the first time the Delhi Government has involved all the people of the city and eminent individuals at such a grand scale to come together to commemorate the works of Maharshi Valmiki. And this will continue for years to come,” he said.
