MARCH 30: Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today visited Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur, hailing it as a symbol of social justice and empowerment for the downtrodden. During his visit, he reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to work even harder to build the India that Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar envisioned—an India rooted in equality, dignity, and social justice.
Deekshabhoomi holds immense significance in India’s history as the site where Dr. Ambedkar, along with his followers, embraced Buddhism in 1956, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for social justice and the rights of the marginalized communities. The place stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for those who have long been denied their due rights. The Prime Minister’s visit to this revered site reflects the continued importance of Dr. Ambedkar’s vision in shaping India’s democratic fabric.
In a post shared on social media platform X, PM Modi expressed his admiration for the legacy of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and reaffirmed the government’s pledge to uphold the ideals he laid out for the country. He wrote, “Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur stands tall as a symbol of social justice and empowering the downtrodden. Generations of Indians will remain grateful to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for giving us a Constitution that ensures our dignity and equality.”
Prime Minister Modi went on to highlight the deep connection between the Government’s policies and Dr. Ambedkar’s teachings. “Our Government has always walked on the path shown by Pujya Babasaheb, and we reiterate our commitment to working even harder to realise the India he dreamt of,” he added, emphasizing the need to continue making strides toward equality and social justice for all sections of society.
The visit to Deekshabhoomi comes at a time when the Government is continuing to push for policies that aim to uplift the marginalized and disadvantaged sections of Indian society. Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions, particularly in the framing of the Indian Constitution, are central to India’s commitment to equality, justice, and social empowerment. The Prime Minister’s remarks further solidify the Government’s unwavering commitment to ensure that Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of an inclusive India is fulfilled.
As the country continues to honor the legacy of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the Government remains focused on addressing social inequalities and ensuring that every citizen, regardless of their background, has equal access to opportunities, justice, and dignity. The reaffirmation of this commitment by the Prime Minister underscores the ongoing efforts to realize the ideals of social justice that Dr. Ambedkar championed.
