Delhi Free Spoken English Programme: The Chief Minister of the National Capital Arvind Kejriwal on July 25, 2022, announced the launch of a ‘free’ Spoken English programme for youngsters.

By depositing an amount of INR 950, people falling into the age group of 18 and 35 can avail of this programme. Post successful completion of the programme, the amount will be refunded. The programme will be conducted by Delhi Skill Entrepreneurship University.
Announcing the launch of the programme, the CM said, "We are announcing a Spoken English programme for youngsters who lack communication skills. Our Delhi Skill Entrepreneurship University will conduct this course. The students who have completed their education up to standard 12 and have poor communication skills can opt for the course. People who are also facing problems in seeking jobs and have a basic knowledge of English of up to standard 8 can also join the course.”
"This would help develop one's personality, and improve the student's job prospects," the Delhi CM added.
