The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched the Dr. Ambedkar Samman Scholarship scheme to support Dalit students in pursuing higher education. This initiative aims to provide financial assistance to students from the Dalit community, ensuring they don’t miss out on educational opportunities due to financial constraints.
Under this scheme, the Delhi government will bear the expenses of Dalit students who secure admission to top universities worldwide. Notably, this scholarship is also applicable to government employees from the Dalit community.
The AAP Delhi Cabinet has approved a plan to fund higher studies of 100 Dalit students overseas each year. This move is expected to empower students from the Scheduled Caste community, providing them with opportunities for growth and development.
By launching this scholarship scheme, the AAP aims to promote social equality and provide opportunities for Dalit students to excel in their academic pursuits.
