The Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh, CS Santhi Kumari, has directed officials to prepare for the unveiling of a statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in the state. The statue is set to be unveiled on April 14, which is celebrated as Ambedkar Jayanti, the birth anniversary of the social reformer and politician. The directive was given during a review meeting held by CS Santhi Kumari with officials from various departments.
The statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is being installed at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University in Srikakulam district. The university was established in 2008 and is named after the social reformer. The statue is being installed to commemorate his contribution to the society and his role in drafting the Indian Constitution. The university has been asked to ensure that all arrangements are in place for the unveiling ceremony.
The directive by CS Santhi Kumari is seen as a step towards acknowledging the contributions of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar towards the upliftment of the marginalized sections of society. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was a social reformer, politician, and jurist who fought for the rights of Dalits, women, and other marginalized communities. He was also the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and played a significant role in shaping India’s democracy. The unveiling of his statue is expected to inspire people to work towards creating a more inclusive society.
