UDHAMPUR, APRIL 14: Ambedkar Jayanti was today celebrated with full fervour and enthusiasm at the Community Hall in Dehma. The event witnessed a vibrant gathering of locals to pay tribute to Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Speaking at the function, Vice Chairperson District Development Council Udhampur Juhi Manhas Pathania called for emulating the philosophy and core ideals of Babasaheb Ambedkar, who laid the foundation of social justice and equity in India.
She emphasized Dr. Ambedkar’s visionary outlook on land reforms and economic restructuring in independent India. “His thoughts formed the bedrock of a just and equitable society — ideas that continue to inspire generations,” she said. While acknowledging that certain ideas could not be fully implemented due to various constraints, she noted that they are still deeply relevant across political, social, and economic spheres.
“It is time we realign with his vision. Dr. Ambedkar was a champion of the poor and underprivileged. His thoughts are more relevant than ever, even after nearly 70 years,” she added, appreciating the Centre Government’s commitment to carrying forward his legacy through inclusive development programs.
The event featured cultural performances and tributes to Dr. Ambedkar. A large number of locals gathered to honour the legacy of the great social reformer.
