Kejriwal Introduces Scholarship for Dalit Students' Foreign Education

The Dr. Ambedkar Samman Scholarship aims to fully fund international studies for Dalit students and government employees from Delhi.

Arvind Kejriwal announced the Dr. Ambedkar Samman Scholarship to support Dalit students pursuing education at top international universities.
The scholarship will cover tuition, travel, and accommodation costs for eligible students who secure admission abroad.
Children of Dalit government employees in Delhi will also qualify for the program, though details on implementation remain unclear.
The initiative was presented as a tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and a response to recent remarks by Amit Shah, which were criticized as disrespectful to Ambedkar's legacy.
The announcement comes ahead of the Delhi assembly elections in February, where Kejriwal’s AAP is campaigning with promises of expanded social welfare programs.
