Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar undertook several remarkable works in the 20th century, which helped eliminate the distortions caused by a thousand years of slavery. Based on his vision and contribution, India has emerged as the world's largest democratic nation.
Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions were multidimensional. He foresaw the future challenges of India. Despite facing immense hardships in life, he learned from his struggles and dedicated himself to uplifting others like him. Baba Saheb left no stone unturned in his pursuit of education. His life inspires us to ensure that there is never a lack of education in one’s life. His efforts for social harmony and upliftment are truly unparalleled in history. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the program organized at Bhim Janmabhoomi (Mhow), Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav garlanded the statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and also presented the Bhim Ratna Awards.
Dr. Yadav said that Baba Saheb provided the entire society with the system of reservations. Today, all sections, including Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, are benefiting from increased literacy. The literacy rate among Scheduled Castes, which was once just 1.5%, has now risen to 59%. In the future, during times of adversity, the empowerment of the underprivileged will remain a priority.
