Addressing the press conference, Parmar said that Monday was the birth anniversary of Jyotiba Phule who worked to spread the prevalence of education among women, tribals and people of the deprived classes.
Parmar said that on Phule’s birth anniversary workers of the party’s SC Morcha visited various schools across state to distribute fruits and books etc. to students.
