Kejriwal and Sisodia were also to brief the US First Lady about the "happiness curriculum" introduced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, sources said.
When contacted, a US embassy spokesperson referred the query on the matter to the Delhi government.
There was no immediate reaction from the Delhi government.
