New Delhi, Dec 6 (NationPress) On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in honoring Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on Mahaparinirvan Diwas, reflecting on his profound contributions to justice, equality, and constitutional values.

As the country commemorates his steadfast dedication to human dignity and democratic ideals, Modi Story, a prominent social media platform on X, has highlighted the connection between Ambedkar's principles of social justice and the Modi administration's motto of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas'.

Babasaheb Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Constitution, envisioned a society where every citizen enjoys equality, particularly focusing on the upliftment of the underprivileged. This vision has become a reality during the Narendra Modi government's decade-long tenure, which has lifted approximately 25 crore citizens out of poverty.

"This remarkable accomplishment has brought to life Babasaheb Ambedkar's dream of an India where constitutional rights translate into tangible improvements in the lives of the impoverished," notes Modi Story.

The platform further emphasizes significant initiatives taken during PM Modi's time as Gujarat Chief Minister, showcasing how these efforts aligned with Ambedkar's vision of social justice and empowerment for the marginalized.

"During his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi reinforced Babasaheb Ambedkar's message through action-oriented governance. Over a hundred welfare and development initiatives were introduced under the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, promoting education, housing, sanitation, and economic empowerment," it observes.

Importantly, the Gujarat government at the time laid the groundwork for Ambedkar Bhavan, erected statues honoring Babasaheb Ambedkar’s legacy, and launched the Samvidhan Yatra to enhance awareness of constitutional values at the grassroots level. The Swachh Gujarat Maha Abhiyan was initiated on Ambedkar Jayanti in 2007, symbolically linking cleanliness with Babasaheb Ambedkar’s principles of civic responsibility.

Upon becoming Prime Minister, Modi expanded this legacy through initiatives that garnered national and international recognition for Dr. Ambedkar's life and philosophies.

The establishment of Panchteerth connected five significant sites related to Dr. Ambedkar—his birth, education, spiritual transformation, Mahaparinirvan, and cremation—creating a journey of remembrance.

The creation of the Ambedkar memorial in London, the memorial in Delhi, and the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre for Socio-Economic Transformation in Janpath have ensured that Babasaheb Ambedkar's contributions gain global acknowledgment.

In 2015, a formal declaration marked the celebration of Constitution Day, fostering deeper civic respect for Babasaheb Ambedkar's work and ideology.

PM Modi has consistently recognized Babasaheb Ambedkar as one of India's leading economists.

During the Dalit Entrepreneurs Conference in 2015, he referred to Ambedkar's economic writings as essential tools for contemporary challenges. This understanding is evident in initiatives such as ASIIM (Ambedkar Social Innovation and Incubation Mission, 2020), which promotes innovation among SC youth, and PM-AJAY (2021), designed to enhance socio-economic conditions in SC communities.

Through the Modi government's unwavering commitment to celebrate the ideals and principles of Babasaheb Ambedkar, they continue to shape India's social and economic trajectory, ensuring his legacy extends beyond historical texts.
