I hope the "Constitution Fest" and workshops for students are conducted well. Our youth must understand the foundational document he gave us. My only request to the organisers: please ensure the events are accessible to people from all economic backgrounds, not just a select few.

Great to see such a grand celebration planned. Dr. Ambedkar's vision of 'Nation First' is something every Indian should internalise. The Bhim Jyoti Utsav near India Gate will be a fitting tribute. Planning to take my kids to the exhibition.

As someone relatively new to India, I find these cultural and historical celebrations fascinating. It's a brilliant way to learn about one of the key architects of modern India. The focus on national harmony is particularly commendable.

While celebrations are good, I hope they translate into meaningful action. Are there any policy announcements or concrete steps to address the social inequalities Babasaheb fought against? The real tribute would be implementing his ideals in letter and spirit. The event sounds lovely though.

The lineup of activities is impressive! Walkathons, quizzes, art exhibitions... this will definitely engage the younger generation. His struggle and contribution to building our republic deserve to be remembered in such a vibrant way. 👏
