NEW DELHI: Speaking on Ambedkar Jayanti, Gupta said her government is committed to the welfare and empowerment of all communities.

She also launched the "Babasaheb Ambedkar Educational Tour Programme," which will take students on guided visits from the Mahaparinirvan Sthal in Alipur to the Babasaheb Ambedkar International Centre.

"The way Dr B.R. Ambedkar guided the country and gave the constitution—whatever is there in the Constitution is in the better interest of the people of the country, and India will continue to move ahead," CM Gupta said.

"Special assemblies and educational activities will be held across schools for the next 15 days to introduce students to Ambedkar's ideals, struggles, and contributions. Discontinued schemes such as skill-based education and startup funding initiatives will be revived to ensure equal opportunities for underprivileged, backward, and Dalit communities," she said.
