PM Modi is in Haryana to launch several development initiatives worth Rs 10,000 crore in the State on Monday to mark the birth anniversary of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, an iconic figure known for his role in Dalit emancipation and framing the Constitution.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and several State ministers were among those present at the event.
Fondly known as 'Babasaheb,' Ambedkar was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and is thus also called the 'Father of the Indian Constitution. 'Ambedkar was also the first Law and Justice minister of Independent India.
