“B R Ambedkar always said that if you want to develop the country, you need to educate each and every child. He too belonged to a very poor family but had the finest education from abroad,” he said.

“Two to three new government schools are being inaugurated in Delhi every month and several poor and underprivileged children are studying there now,” he said.

Not just education but water supply problems in the Sangam Vihar area will also be addressed soon, Kejriwal said.
