Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, who fought against caste discrimination, continues to be a mentor for future generations.
The Chief Minister remembered the services and sacrifices of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule on the occasion of his 198th birth anniversary on Thursday. Phule, who started his life as common man, grew as a great social activist and turned into a role model for all, he said.
The path chosen and followed by Phule for upliftment of backward classes and dalits is an inspiration to all those who aspire for the welfare of the society. The State government is taking up innovative programmes in true spirit of principles of Mahatma Phule, he said.
