Every year on April 14, Ambedkar Jayanti, also known as Bhim Jayanti, commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, one of India’s greatest reformers and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Born in 1891 in the military cantonment town of Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, to Ramji Maloji Sakpal and Bhimabai Sakpal, he rose from humble beginnings to leave an indelible mark on Indian history.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar completed his graduation from Elphinstone College, University of Bombay (now Mumbai University). He earned doctorate degrees from Columbia University in 1927 and the London School of Economics in 1923. He served as the Law and Justice Minister in the first cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru.

In 1990, he was honoured with Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award.

Dr. Ambedkar dedicated his life to fighting social discrimination and promoting equality for all. On his birth anniversary, let us honour his legacy and strive to build a society rooted in equality, fraternity, and liberty.
