Delhi Education Minister Atishi on Friday interacted with 30 MBA students from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. The focus of the interaction centered on the unique governance model employed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi, under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The Wharton School students met Education Minister Atishi under the Global Immersion Program, designed to provide them with an understanding of the economic, cultural, and geopolitical dynamics shaping the global economy. Atishi provided a captivating insight into the evolution of AAP and elaborated on the transformative journey of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, capturing the attention of the Wharton students.

During the interaction, Education Minister Atishi shared the profound impact of AAP's unyielding political will to enhance the lives of the common man. She cited AAP as a compelling example that reaffirms the idea that even 'a common man' can alter the course of the world with an unwavering commitment to public welfare.

She said, “Despite various struggles and hindrances in governance, the welfare of people who voted for the government has always been the priority of Kejriwal Government. Over the past 9 years, the Delhi Government has ensured that children in the national capital get the best of the best education, people get hassle-free access to high-quality healthcare, free water and power supply round the clock. These are basic rights of people to lead a dignified life.”

The Education Minister added, “These successful transformations were made possible due to the unshakable political will of the government, which aimed to bring about change in Delhi. As a result, Delhi's government schools have become a source of inspiration for numerous global reforms in the education system. The Mohalla Clinics are trusted as a highly impactful healthcare system, ensuring the accessibility of quality healthcare to people for free.”

Minister Atishi further emphasized that major global transformation is possible when a surge of educated individuals enters politics with a resolute dedication to serving the people. This, she asserted, is the key to unlocking a new era of political leadership on a global scale.

During the interaction, Atishi also shared her journey from a party volunteer to the only woman minister in the Delhi Cabinet with the students.
