- Chief Minister Dr. Yadav paid homage to Dr. Ambedkar by offering floral tributes on his birth anniversary.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav paid tribute to Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar on his 136th birth anniversary by garlanding and offering floral tributes to his statue at the Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar Square near the Board Office on Tuesday. Highlighting Baba Saheb’s personality and work, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Dr. Ambedkar’s contribution to the creation of modern India is unforgettable and incomparable. He drafted the Indian Constitution to create an egalitarian society and protected everyone’s rights. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav read the Preamble of the Indian Constitution in honor of Baba Saheb before everyone present at the floral tribute ceremony and raised slogans of “Long live Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.” Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar was a strong voice for the social, economic, educational, and political empowerment of the deprived, oppressed, exploited, and neglected throughout his life. Our government is continuously working to center the spirit of harmony and equality of the architect of the Constitution, Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar. Baba Saheb gave us the right to equality, and now, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, we are moving forward on the path of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas” and realizing Baba Saheb’s dream. Country comes first, and we will all work together and unitedly for social harmony.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that our governments have always respected Baba Saheb. When the Udan Bridge was built in Bhopal, we named it after Baba Saheb. A grand memorial was built in Baba Saheb’s birthplace, Mhow. We launched the Kamdhenu scheme in Baba Saheb’s name. We named the Sagar Sanctuary after Baba Saheb. We launched an economic welfare scheme in Baba Saheb’s name. We are also going to build Dr. Ambedkar Dham in Gwalior.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that to preserve Baba Saheb’s memory, the Central Government has developed his birthplace (Mhow – Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, Madhya Pradesh), Shiksha Bhoomi (London), Deeksha Bhoomi (Nagpur, Maharashtra), Mahaparinirvan Bhoomi (Delhi), and Chaitya Bhoomi (Mumbai) as Panchtirtha (five pilgrimage sites) and has undertaken permanent constructions, representing Baba Saheb’s struggle and ideals. He added that Baba Saheb made special efforts for women’s education, the protection of their natural rights, and their socio-economic upliftment. Following his path, our country is moving forward towards taking a major revolutionary step towards women’s empowerment. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central Government is convening a historic discussion in Parliament regarding the full implementation of the “Nari Shakti Vandan Act.” This Act aims to provide 33 percent reservation to all women in Parliament and state assemblies. This will be the biggest and most effective step taken in the 21st century towards giving full rights to half the population of the country, which will increase the political leadership of women in the legislative system of the Indian republic.
