Some brilliant Dalit children are unable to pursue education due to economic and environmental issues. Such students have been given an opportunity to study abroad. The state government started this program in 2001, and 197 students are studying abroad. Of these, 78 students had selected the United States and completed their studies. We are contemplating to send students to other countries as well. Generally, No government sends students to foreign countries for graduation. It is a privilege that our government sends students abroad for UG courses.
Social welfare Minister Priyank Kharge was present.
