Arvind Kejriwal (born 16 August 1968) is an Indian politician and social activist who has been the Chief Minister of Delhi since February 2015. Previously he briefly served as Chief Minister from December 2013 to February 2014. He is the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). His party won the 2015 Delhi Assembly elections with a majority, obtaining 67 out of 70 assembly seats. Kejriwal is a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, and worked for the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department.〔(delhi.gov.in, ''About Our Honorable Chief Minister'' ): "A social activist, political reformer and a former Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax department, Mr Kejriwal is known for his commitment towards the Right to Information and struggle for the anti-corruption Lokpal."〕〔Arvind Mohan Dwivedi, Rajneesh Roshan (2014), ''Magnetic Personality : Arvind Kejriwal'', Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd〕 In 2006, Kejriwal was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership recognising his involvement in a grassroots movement ''Parivartan'' using right-to-information legislation in a campaign against corruption. The same year, after resigning from the IRS, he donated his Magsaysay award money as a corpus fund to found the Public Cause Research Foundation, a non-governmental organisation (NGO). In 2012, he launched the Aam Aadmi Party, and the party won in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election. Following the election, he took office as the Chief Minister of Delhi on 28 December 2013. He resigned 49 days later, on 14 February 2014, stating he did so because of his minority government's inability to pass his proposed anti-corruption legislation due to a lack of support from other political parties. On 14 February 2015, he was sworn in as Chief Minister for a second term after his party's victory in the Assembly election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Kejriwal-takes-oath-as-Delhi-CM/liveblog/46240399.cms )〕 ==Early life== Kejriwal was born in a middle-class family in Siwani, Bhiwani district, Haryana on 16 August 1968, the first of the three children of Gobind Ram Kejriwal and Gita Devi. His father was an electrical engineer who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, and whose work led to many changes in the family's residence. Kejriwal spent most of his childhood in north Indian towns such as Sonepat, Ghaziabad and Hisar. He was educated at Campus School in Hisar〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rmaf.org.ph/newrmaf/main/awardees/awardee/biography/141 )〕 and at a Christian missionary school at Sonipat. Kejriwal's grandfather was pleased when he considered training for a medical career but Kejriwal eventually opted to study engineering because there were far more student places available. He graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, majoring in mechanical engineering. He joined Tata Steel in 1989 and was posted in Jamshedpur. Kejriwal resigned in 1992, having taken leave of absence to study for the Civil Services Examination.〔 He spent some time in Kolkata, where he met Mother Teresa, and volunteered with The Missionaries of Charity and at the Ramakrishna Mission in North-East India and at Nehru Yuva Kendra. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arvind Kejriwal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
