Speaking about the budget allocation to education Sisodia said that we are spending 21 per cent of the total budget on education. Delhi still tops the chart on spending on education. Although we have made a lot of rooms and universities still we need to take the level of education higher. To increase the budget whatever is required Kejriwal government will fulfil it.
