AGARTALA, April 14, 2025: Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha Monday said that the present state government is continuously working for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes and is following the principles and ideals of the architect of the Constitution Dr BR Ambedkar.
Dr Saha said this at a programme organised at the Ujjayanta Palace premises this morning on the occasion of the 135th birth anniversary of the architect of modern India and one of the architects of the Constitution, Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar.
“I pay humble tribute to Dr BR Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary. We organise this tribute program every year. The Tripura government is continuously working for the welfare of the Scheduled Castes. We are working in the direction of the ideals left by Dr BR Ambedkar and the path he has shown us. Such a philosopher, economist, social reformer, and freedom fighter is rare in our country. He is one of the main figures among the framers of the country's Constitution. "We are all aware of the way he worked for the Dalit community,” said Dr. Saha.
He said that on the birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar, everyone must pledge to learn more about him and understand how he worked for the people.
“The way he fought against adversity, hatred, malice, and insults is still remembered today. The way he worked and fought for the oppressed continues to serve as a lesson for all. Dr BR Ambedkar was endowed with education, talent, and a sharp writing ability. In December 2023, an 11-foot-high full-length marble statue of Dr BR Ambedkar was installed in front of the Legislative Assembly building under the initiative of the SC Welfare Minister. And not only are we limiting ourselves to celebrating his birth anniversary, we are also trying to do more by keeping his ideals in mind. The government is working to provide various facilities to students, starting with pre-matric and post-matric scholarships. Arrangements have been made to provide scholarships after passing secondary school,” he added.
The event was attended by the Minister of SC Welfare Sudhangshu Das, Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation and MLAs, Acting Sabhadhipati of Paschim Tripura Zilla Parishad Biswajit Shil, Secretary of the SC Welfare Department Deepa D Nair, Director of the Department Jayanta De, and other prominent persons.
