What is the News?
The National Monuments Authority(NMA) has recommended two sites associated with Dr. Ambedkar be declared Monuments of National importance.
Which are those two sites associated with Dr. Ambedkar?
Sankalp Bhumi Banyan tree campus in Vadodara: This is a place where Dr. Ambedkar had taken a resolve to eradicate untouchability on 23rd September, 1917. This place is more than a hundred years old and a witness to the beginning of the social respect revolution heralded by Dr. Ambedkar.
Pratap Rao Bhosale High School in Satara (Maharashtra): This is a place where Bhim Rao Ramji Ambedkar received his primary education. The school register still shows with pride a child student, Bhim Rao’s signatures in Marathi. The school now under Zila Parishad is in very bad condition.
