Rs 90,000 crore spent on education an investment, not expenditure: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

NEW DELHI: Delhi government on Friday celebrated “Happiness Utsav” to mark four years of the implementation of the happiness curriculum in its schools. Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said in the past seven years, over Rs 90,000 crore was spent in the education sector. However, it was not an expenditure, but an investment.

Mentioning that the happiness curriculum had changed the lives of thousands of students, who were now able to recognise and identify their talents, Kejriwal said, “Delhi government is teaching students to be better humans, devote themselves to the country and be capable enough to earn for their families. Children studying in Delhi government’s schools will become prime ministers and chief ministers in future. They will become top-class doctors and engineers and lead the nation. Our students will give a positive and nourishing atmosphere to the society. The happiness curriculum aims to make children happier and recognise their potential and become better humans.”
