AAP relaunches Jai Bhim, Farishtey schemes

AHEAD of elections, the AAP-led Delhi government on Friday announced that it had restarted its two key schemes—free coaching for students from marginalised communities and incentives to good Samaritans for helping victims of road accidents to hospitals.

At a press conference, former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal stated, “I am delighted to announce a great initiative for the Dalit community (SC), ST, OBC, and EWS. In 2017, we started the ‘Mukhyamatri Jai Bhim Yojana’ in Delhi. Under this initiative, we provided financial assistance to the children of these communities for coaching.”
