Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, born on 14 April 1891, was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Throughout his life, Ambedkar ardently challenged social discrimination and the Hindu caste system. His remarkable legacy encompasses his diverse roles as a jurist, political leader, Buddhist activist, philosopher and anthropologist.
Ambedkar passed away on December 6, 1956, at his residence in Delhi. His birthdate is honoured annually as Ambedkar Jayanti, or Bhim Jayanthi, a public holiday dedicated to his memory. In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, he was posthumously bestowed with India’s highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, in 1990.
A chair was established at the University on January 8, 1997, ensuring that his visionary principles and pioneering efforts continue to resonate.
