The CM also announced a 15-day celebration of Ambedkar Jayanti in the government schools.
“Special assembly sessions will now be held in all Delhi schools to educate students about Babasaheb Ambedkar’s life, struggles, and contributions. The Delhi government is fully committed to implementing equality, education, and health rights on the ground,” she asserted as the government marked the occasion of the 134th Ambedkar Jayanti at the Delhi Legislative Assembly. She also thanked Prime Narendra Modi “for declaring Ambedkar Jayanti a national holiday”.
“Delhi will celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti as a 15-day event and not just a single-day celebration. Schools will host special assemblies on Babasaheb Ambedkar’s life and ideals. There will be programmes to educate and inspire students, and awareness drives in academic institutions to promote social inclusion, justice, and equality,” she said.
Gupta also flagged off a “Walkathon” organised by the government. The event was attended by Social Welfare Minister Ravinder Raj Singh and Education Minister Ashish Sood, among others.
Addressing the gathering, the CM said, “The ‘Walkathon’ is not just a symbolic march but a powerful medium to spread Babasaheb’s message of justice, equality, and rights to every citizen.”
Asking the people to rise above political boundaries, Gupta urged everyone to adopt Babasaheb Ambedkar’s vision as a guiding light to build a harmonious and progressive India. “His Jayanti is not just celebrated in India, but globally, as a festival of equality and justice. He can rightly be called the ‘Architect of Modern India’. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s foresight gave India a Constitution that is unmatched in its inclusiveness and strength. Thanks to Babasaheb, 1.4 billion Indians today live under the same Constitution, enjoying equal rights and duties,” she said.
Slamming the Opposition, the CM said, “Babasaheb clearly defined not just citizens’ rights, but also their responsibilities. Unfortunately, some political groups today seek to use his name only for their benefit. We must remember – Babasaheb stood for all Indians, not just one community,” she said.
