Arvind Kejriwal said, “No child of Dalit community should be deprived of getting higher education due to lack of money. I announce Dr. Ambedkar Scholarship. If any Dalit child wants to study in any top university of the world, then He just takes admission in that university, the expenses of his studies and all the traveling expenses will be borne by the Delhi government.”
He said, “Ambedkar has done double PhD after studying abroad. In independent India, no child should face any problem in studying in a foreign university. This scheme will be applicable on government officers also. BJP and Amit Shah are making fun of Ambedkar. We are responding to that through this plan.”
