The new government formed in the state has now included the Dalit agenda in priority. In view of Mission-2024, along with the party, now the government has also prepared a road map for Dalit welfare. This is going to happen for the first time that on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti from the government level, on April 14, an attempt will be made to give the message of ‘Dalit Mitra’ by organizing a large-scale program in many districts of the state.
On the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, this time apart from Lucknow, in major cities like Bareilly, Agra, Varanasi, Gorakhpur etc., programs of Baba Saheb’s birth anniversary will be organized on a large scale by the Culture Department. Mukesh Meshram, Principal Secretary, Culture Department, said that this is the first time that such a large-scale program is being organized. These programs will start on the evening of 13th with a seminar organized at Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University. The main program will be held in the Ambedkar Mahasabha complex on April 14 in the presence of the Chief Minister. On 15th and 16th April, under the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence, seminars and cultural programs, photo exhibitions will be organized in major cities. In this, the government’s effort is to ensure maximum participation of the Dalit community.
