Death anniversary of BR Ambedkar:-
‘Ambedkar always focused on empowering women, Dalits in India’, says NCSC Chairman Vijay Sampla
The people these days know their right to property but do not know their duties towards their family, brother, sister and society: Vijay Sampla
DELHI, December 6
“Even though Dr BR Ambedkar was well educated and a learned man who could have enjoyed his life, still he decided to live a life in India to eradicate atrocities from society. He was dedicated to providing various rights to people, irrespective of their caste, gender and religion, and also focused on empowering women in the country. He emphasized that if a woman is educated, she can not only change her family but can also contribute to uplifting the society at large”, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) Chairman Vijay Sampla said, while paying tribute to BR Ambedkar on his death anniversary, at an event organized by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).
He added, “Besides, BR Ambedkar had also focused on the upliftment of the Dalits so that they could also be considered equal in society. By writing an unbiased and rational Constitution of India, he ensured that every section of the society is treated equally”.
While addressing the youth, NCSC Chairman also emphasized the need to change the education system of India, which only focuses on providing skills to the people but is missing imparting ‘values’ among them.
“The education which youngsters are getting at present provides them enough knowledge about their rights but does not provide them the values and their duties. The people these days know their right to property but do not know their duties towards their family, and society”, Sampla said, adding that even though BR Ambedkar worked in spreading the message of brotherhood, not many are following it.
“A person should know his/her duties towards parents, brothers, sisters or children and ensure peace and harmony among them”, Sampla said.
“Though the school education cannot be easily changed, the college can add subjects for imparting value education to the people. In this, IGNOU could also play a crucial role”, he added.
