The Telangana CM was on a visit to Delhi, where he called on Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal and embarked upon a tour of Delhi Government’s Mohalla Clinics and Government Schools today. After the visit, Shri K Chandrashekar Rao stated, “The Kejriwal Government’s policies in healthcare & education are genuinely outstanding; citizens of Delhi are truly fortunate to be receiving such spectacular services; this should be implemented all over India. If the kind of governance offered by the Kejriwal Government in Delhi takes place all over the country, India will progress like never before. Delhi Government’s efforts will reap huge returns for the country; this kind of development is not seen usually in India. Delhi Government has made monumental efforts in developing unique curriculums & activities to teach entrepreneurship; we don’t need to go anywhere else now; we can learn from Delhi itself. We have adapted Delhi’s Mohalla Clinic model as Basti Dawakhanas in Telangana. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s innovative work in education and health is tremendously benefiting the public. It is difficult to gain success while working for the common man but the way Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has gotten success is highly appreciable.”
At the same time, Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal stated, “CM K Chandrashekar Rao gave time to understand every detail of our models; seeing his interest in the field of education made me very happy. Matter of pride, delight and contentment that Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao visited Delhi Government’s schools and Mohalla Clinics.”
The Telangana CM was accompanied by MP Shri Nama Nageswara Rao, MP Shri Venkatesh Netha, MP Shri Ranjith Reddy, MP Shri Santosh Kumar, Telangana Minister & MLA Shri Prashant Reddy and MLA Dr M Anand. The Delhi Chief Minister was accompanied by Deputy CM Shri Manish Sisodia, Health Minister Shri Satyendar Jain and senior officials of the government.
Constantly witnessing the impressive results of this overhaul of Delhi’s education model: Telangana CM K. Chandrashekar Rao
Telangana Chief Minister Shri K. Chandrashekar Rao said, “The efforts made by the Delhi Government to reform the education sector are highly commendable, and we are constantly witnessing the impressive results of this overhaul of Delhi’s education model. The biggest feat that the Delhi Government has achieved as a result of this reform is easing students out of tension and burden of marks, and diverting their attention and capabilities towards a more entrepreneurial approach – paving the way for students to go from being job seekers to job providers. I spoke to many such students today, and it brought me immense joy and satisfaction to hear some of them wanting to follow the footsteps of people like Elon Musk, depicting a complete change in the way these students think. Delhi Government’s work in this direction is highly praiseworthy, for it is not taking place anywhere else in the country. I strongly believe that this paradigm shift in the education sector will bear extremely fruitful results in the future.”
Citizens of Delhi are truly fortunate to be receiving such spectacular services; if such governance takes place all over the country, India will progress like never before: Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao
He continued, “I remember watching an interview of common women at Connaught Place on TV during the previous Delhi Assembly elections. These women appeared extremely happy and claimed that they can send their kids to Delhi Government’s schools without any tension, and that through this not only will their children receive good education, but they will also save on their expenditures. Listening to these women back then made me extremely happy, and now that I have visited one of these schools myself, I must say that the condition and the facilities are highly admirable, and a marvellous transformation has been heralded by the Delhi Government in the education sector. On the success of their relentless efforts, I sincerely congratulate Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal. I believe the citizens of Delhi are truly fortunate to be receiving such spectacular services, and if such public welfare oriented governance takes place all over the country, India will progress like never before.”
He added, “The Delhi Government’s Education Policy has been implemented on a practical basis, and is hence bearing immediate and impressive results. Such reform is needed. The Central Government should not simply formulate a new education policy and impose it on everyone. They should keep in mind that we are a federal democracy – the constitution clearly says that India is a Union of States, and take everyone along in order to formulate a successful policy. If it goes ahead without any consultation from states, there are bound to be differences and obstacles in future.”
We will practise an exchange of ideas and knowledge, and learn from the efforts made by the Delhi Government: Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao
He concluded, “We are going to send teachers and teachers’ union leaders from Telangana’s schools to Delhi to get familiarised with the education model here. We will practise an exchange of ideas and knowledge, and learn from the efforts made by the Delhi Government in academics, extra curriculars, the various other curriculums like the EMC. Great work has taken place in Delhi, and we hope that the entire country will also bring about similar reforms in education.”
Adapted the Mohalla Clinic model in Telangana after seeing the remarkable success in Delhi: Telangana CM K Chandashekar Rao
Speaking about his visit to one of Delhi’s Mohalla Clinics, he added, “Some 5-6 years ago when I visited Delhi, one of my friends living here informed me that the Mohalla Clinics were providing great care to the people of Delhi. Following that visit, we sent our officers to Delhi, who spoke to the authorities here, as well as the common people, who only responded with overwhelmingly positive feedback, and said that the Delhi Government is looking after their welfare. Keeping the idea of Mohalla Clinics in mind, and replicating this groundbreaking healthcare model, we have opened 350 Basti Dawakhanas all over Hyderabad. The entire nation will prosper if all governments can do their bit in helping the working class and the poor people receive better education and healthcare.
He continued, “Commendable work has taken place across various sectors concerning public welfare in the National Capital in the past few years. The Business Blasters program, designed to evoke the enterprising side of government school students, especially stood out to me. Along with this, the two-tier model of Mohalla Clinics and Polyclinics – where consultations, tests, and medicines for regular ailments and injuries are easily available at Mohalla clinics, and Polyclinics can be visited for more advanced medical treatment. Additionally, I have learnt that retired and private doctors are also being given charge at these Mohalla Clinics to make them more efficient. The doctors here are also happy with the facilities, and I spoke to one such doctor today who informed me that they see around 90-110 patients in one shift. I have seen how the entire staff at these clinics works with great discipline, and visiting this Mohalla Clinic today has been a truly rewarding experience for me. I heartily congratulate Shri Arvind Kejriwal for his innovative steps to provide better education and healthcare to the poor and disadvantaged communities, and commend the splendid success of his government’s efforts. It is a tough task to work for the common public and attain considerable success, but the Delhi Government has shown a great example, which the entire country should learn from.”
Elated to see CM K Chandrashekar Rao’s interest in Delhi Government Schools: CM Arvind Kejriwal
Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “It is a matter of great pride and happiness that Telangana’s Chief Minister Shri K. Chandrashekar Rao has come to visit Delhi’s government schools and Mohalla Clinics today. On behalf of the entire Delhi Government, I wholeheartedly welcome him and his team of Ministers and Members of Parliament. We took him to look around one of our government schools today, where he showed exceptional attention to details, and asked pertinent questions as well. We are elated to see the thorough visit that Shri KC Rao conducted of the government school, and the interest he showed in our education system. We later showed him our Mohalla Clinic where he was explained our healthcare model in depth.”
The CM tweeted, “Visited world-class Mohalla Clinics and schools of the Delhi Government with Telangana CM Shri K Chandrashekar Rao ji. He was very happy to see all the facilities. India will only progress if we learn from the good work of each other.”
Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao visits Kejriwal Government’s Sarvodaya Senior Secondary School, Moti Bagh
Telangana CM K. Chandrashekar Rao reached Sarvodaya Senior Secondary School, Moti Bagh, along with CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Sr Manish Sisodia at around 5 pm today. The Telangana CM and his colleagues were given a grand welcome at the school. CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal escorted him through the school premises and told him the story of Delhi’s education revolution.
Shri Arvind Kejriwal said, “Today, our government schools have surpassed private schools in quality, and children from private schools are enrolling in Delhi’s government schools. We manage over 1,100 schools in Delhi, where 16 lakh children study. Ever since coming to power, we have worked on holistic development of both the infrastructure and the curriculums of the schools. This year, 3.7 lac children have had their names cut from private schools and enrolled in our schools.”
Delhi’s Education Director Shri Himanshu Gupta then briefed the Telangana delegation about the Delhi Model of Education through an interesting presentation. He told the delegation about how the CM held rounds of meetings with the principals of all the schools of Delhi Government and told them that he wants to give world class education to the children of Delhi. “All the principals were told to prepare their vision for education. After which, the Principals of 54 schools presented their vision on the basis of which the Delhi Government launched a revolutionary change in schools. Today the Delhi government spends 25 percent of its budget on education. Principals and teachers of government schools were sent to IIMs in Singapore, Finland and Cambridge. The Delhi government has also given more financial and decision-making powers to the principals of government schools. Apart from this, Mentor Teacher Program, Teacher Development Co-ordination, Cluster Leadership Development Program etc. are being run in schools,” he said. The dignitaries then walked around the school’s facilities and took stock of the world class infrastructure provided to the students. The delegation was then briefed about the Kejriwal Government’s unique model of mindset curriculums.
Entrepreneurship Curriculum
CM K. Chandrashekar Rao briefed about the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum under which the Business Blasters program has been started. Under this initiative, the Delhi Government gives two thousand rupees to every child as seed fund and encourages them to work on business ideas. An Investors Summit is organised at the later stage of the program to help children build their businesses.
Happiness Curriculum
The Telangana CM was also informed about the unique Happiness Curriculum. Based on the science of emotions, this course attempts to build emotional resilience in children in a holistic manner. Its main objective is to develop the skills of critical thinking and inquiry in children, empowering children to express themselves independently and creatively, developing a holistic approach to education in a universal context.
Deshbhakti Curriculum
He was then told about the Kejriwal Government’s Deshbhakti Curriculum. This course seeks to inculcate a true sense of love and pride for the country among the children. Its goal is to ensure that every child feels proud for our country. Children are taught about the glory of the country. Every child is made aware of their responsibility and duty towards the nation.

In order to fill the gaps in services, there has been a paradigm shift in reorganising of health care services under Kejriwal Government with a four tier health care delivery system has been created which are: Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinic- for primary healthcare; Multi Specialty Poly Clinic- for secondary health care in the form of OPD consultation by specialist doctors including diagnostics; Multi-Specialty Hospital- for IPD care (earlier called Secondary Level Hospital); Super-Specialty Hospital- (earlier called Tertiary Level Hospital).
Vision behind Mohalla Clinics
The vision of Delhi Government is to combine the power of technology innovations and multi stakeholder partnerships to deliver quality primary health care and provide Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to the citizens of the state. Mission of AAMC is to champion Universal Health through rational, compassionate, ethical basic primary health care services at doorstep and provide assurance for all healthcare needs.
Present status
