Delhi government schools get two swimming pools; Registration begins from April 1

Sisodia claimed that government school infrastructure and facilities therein are no less than that of any international universities like Harvard and Oxford.

The inauguration of two swimming pools took place at Delhi government by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The minister said that in order to get access of the swimming pool, students of state-run and private schools can register from April 1. The swimming pools are located at the Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya (SKV) Mayur Vihar and SKV Mandawali. With the addition of these two swimming pools, Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio informed that Delhi government schools now have 24 “state-of-the-art” swimming pools.

Informing that students from government schools go to private schools to learn swimming where they are charged heavily, the minister said, "But from April 1, both government school students, as well as private school students, will get swimming coaching for free at these pools in Delhi government schools. All Delhi students are invited to register themselves here. We have well-trained coaches at these pools to provide training to the budding swimmers.”

Sisodia claimed that government school infrastructure and facilities therein are no less than that of any international universities like Harvard and Oxford.

The minister further added “The Kejriwal government is committed to providing best of the world facilities to children in Delhi government schools. These buildings are even better than some of the premier institutions of India such as IITs and IIMs.”

"Now that we have a free-of-cost facility to learn swimming, students must take out time and register for that. Students from all across Delhi, irrespective of their socioeconomic background, will have equal and free access to these pools at Delhi government schools and this is what Baba Saheb and Bhagat Singh always dreamt of," he added.
