Pointing to the importance that Dr. B.R. Ambedkar had given to education, Minister for Transport and Scheduled Tribes Welfare and Ballari In-charge B. Sriramulu called upon youngsters to focus on getting educated and fighting for their rights.
“Dr. Ambedkar had strongly held that education was crucial in the transformation of society for the better. He often called upon the people to get educated and struggle for their rights. We must always remember his words and focus on getting our children educated,” Mr. Sriramulu said, after inaugurating celebrations of the birth anniversaries of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jagjivan Ram in Ballari on Thursday.
“If the large sections of the deprived communities are having some better lives these days, it is because of Dr. Ambedkar. If women are standing on equal footing with men, it is because of Dr. Ambedkar. If I, who was born into a poor family, am a Minister, it is because of Dr. Ambedkar,” Mr. Sriramulu said.
