British High Commissioner Alex Ellis and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday discussed the possibility of signing a knowledge-sharing agreement on education and health.

The Chief Minister’s Office tweeted, “British High Commissioner to India H.E. Alex Ellis called upon Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Delhi Secretariat today. Both Delhi & Britain will work together in the fields of education, health & infrastructure for the betterment of their citizens.”

According to a statement, Ellis, accompanied by Barbara Wickham, Director of British Council India, also held an extensive discussion with Kejriwal on road infrastructure and its sustainability.

“Collaboration on green buildings, solar policy, waste management, road designing and electric buses were other subjects  the Delhi Chief Minister discussed with Ellis,” it said.

Underlining  education, healthcare, water supply and roadworks as Delhi Government’s  priority sectors, Kejriwal told the British delegation that his Government had been spending 25 per cent of its annual budget on education and that `85,000 crore had already been invested in this sector in the last seven years.

“We were able to allocate funds because of our commitment with integrity. This helped further in increasing pace of  Delhi’s development,” he said.

The Chief Minister said that his Government is radically working upon enhancing Delhi’s water supply mechanism, reducing air pollution, and making transport more accessible and sustainable.

 Drawing a parallel with the London healthcare model, Kejriwal said mohalla clinics have been set up in every locality where anybody can walk in at any point of the day.
