“His father gets a salary Rs 12,000 a month. When this boy passes out of IIT, he will have a starting salary of Rs 2 lakh a month. That will be the end of poverty for that family,” he added. According to Kejriwal, if this is done for all kids, “each and every family in India will become rich… within a generation.”
Kejriwal also met Delhi school students, who cracked the JEE this year. The CM stated that 1,141 students from Delhi government schools have cracked the IIT-JEE and medical entrance test NEET this year. Delhi zone saw maximum students, 133 in number finishing in the top 5000 of the JEE Advanced 2022 results.
