He reminded us of the works of Sant Ramanujacharya, Swami Vivekananda, Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri and the current Prime Minister Shri Narendra Bhai Modi. According to him, any great character is forgotten in 100 to 150 years, but even in the present, the contribution of Swami Vivekananda, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Dr. Hedgewarji cannot be forgotten. The current Prime Minister Shri Narendra Bhai has given the goal of a developed India 2047 to the intellectual class of the nation and the entire world in 2023. To achieve this, the university educationists will have to take the initiative. By focusing on this, every citizen will have to work at a breakneck pace for the development of the country. Only then will we be able to realize the vision of the Prime Minister. He further said that the four pillars for a developed India were explained by Babasaheb before independence.
Youth Development,
Development of an exploited and oppressed society,
Women's development and
Farmers' development
Babasaheb was not only the messiah of Dalits but also worked for the entire world. He even resigned from the post of Law Minister for the Hindu Code Bill applicable to all. He got the Pregnancy Act implemented for the entire world of women. In addition, Babasaheb also thought about natural issues like agriculture, environment and water conservation. As the chairman of the seminar, the Vice Chancellor introduced Babasaheb as a social thinker and talked about equality, justice and human dignity.
