Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that more than 80 per cent government schools in the country are worse than junkyards New Delhi: Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal, who has been boasting about ‘Delhi School Model’ and recently been awakened by the NCPCR for poor infrastructure and teachers issues, has now attempted to shift the blame. The Delhi CM has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that more than 80 per cent government schools in the country are worse than junkyards. I request you to prepare a plan for the redevelopment of all 10 lakh government run schools in the country.” प्रधानमंत्री जी को मेरा पत्र। उन्होंने 14,500 स्कूलों को अपग्रेड करने का एलान किया, बहुत अच्छा। लेकिन देश में 10 लाख सरकारी स्कूल हैं। इस तरह तो सारे स्कूल ठीक करने में सौ साल से ज़्यादा लग जाएँगे। आपसे अनुरोध है कि सभी दस लाख स्कूलों को एक साथ ठीक करने का प्लान बनाया जाए। pic.twitter.com/Cegk9XvIDZ — Arvind Kejriwal September 7, 2022 Continuing from Tuesday when the Aam Aadmi Party national convenor had termed the prime minister’s decision to modernise 14,500 schools “a drop of water in the ocean”, he again pushed for a plan to upgrade all 10 lakh government schools in the country. However, according to the NCPCR report, the Delhi government schools have not reached the benchmark.
