Delhi is known for its quality of education in the country: Sheila

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had said that city government would ensure Right to Food in the Capital city. She further stated that the Food Security Scheme would benefit all vulnerable sections and nobody would remain hungry

She exhorted people to avail benefit of the scheme as the city government has made elaborate arrangements to formally launch the scheme on 20^th August, 2013. She also stated that her government has always been concerned about the poor and other vulnerable sections.

Dikshit stated that Delhi is known for its quality education in the country. The government has strived hard to bring a sea change in school education. The results of Class-10^th & 12^th CBSE exams are testimony to it. Delhi as well as many parts of the country have been offering attractive employment opportunities. The circle of brain-drain is witnessing reverse trend. We have also established six state level universities. GGS I.P. University alone is offering thousands of seats in professional and technical education through its more than 100 affiliated colleges. The government has also commissioned a separate university for social sciences.

Dikshit stated that the biggest achievement of our government at Centre had been introduction of Right to Education. This has facilitated the city government to open more and more schools. Mere opening of schools and putting in place the modern infrastructure are not going to serve the purpose. Hence, the government is also concentrating on the efficiency, expertise and capabilities of the teachers. Smt. Dikshit cautioned people not to be carried away by the tall promises being made by certain political parties.

Union Minister Kapil Sibal stated that he was concerned about the decaying system of school education under MCD. “During my tenure as Union HRD Minister, I proposed to take over all MCD school in order to turn them into modern and purposeful primary schools with excellent infrastructure
