**NEW DELHI** – A nationwide campaign to commemorate the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar will launch on April 14th, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports announced. The initiative, spearheaded in partnership with MY Bharat Volunteers, will feature “Jai Bhim Yatras” – processions culminating at Dr. Ambedkar statues – in all state and union territory capitals. Thousands of youth and volunteers are expected to participate, paying tribute to the architect of the Indian Constitution.

Union Ministers Mansukh Mandaviya and Raksha Khadse will participate in the Patna and Mumbai yatras respectively, with other ministers joining events across the country. The ministry emphasized the campaign’s aim to educate young citizens about Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions to social justice and equality. Simultaneous cleanliness drives near Dr. Ambedkar statues will also be undertaken by MY Bharat Volunteers.

The government hopes to foster respect for national leaders among young Indians and strengthen their connection to democratic values. Further programmes are planned for May and June during school holidays, focusing on leadership and civic awareness training for students. The overall goal is to encourage reflection on Dr. Ambedkar’s life and work.
