Dr. Ambedkar’s relentless struggle for equality and human dignity continues to inspire many. Today, as we honor his legacy, we reaffirm our dedication to realizing his vision.

It is crucial now more than ever to defend, protect, and uphold his ideals, as well as his significant contribution to the nation—the Constitution of India."
Observed every year on December 6, Mahaparinirvan Diwas commemorates the death anniversary of Ambedkar, who passed away in 1956 at his residence in Delhi.
Dr Ambedkar was a key member of the seven-person committee responsible for drafting the Indian Constitution and played an integral role in shaping modern India. In recognition of his monumental contributions, he was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor, in 1990.
This day serves as a reminder to uphold the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity championed by Dr Ambedkar and enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
