Father of Indian Constitution Dr.
Bhim Rao Ambedkar was born at Mhow near Indore
in Madhya Pradesh. But this fact remained suppressed until BJP government took
reins of the state. And it was during the eight-year rule of present Chief
Minister Mr. Shivraj Singh Chouhan that a grand memorial in the name of Dr.
Ambedkar was built at Mhow. Not only this, but the present State Government
also played an important role in starting Ambedkar Mahakumbh over there. Chief
Minister Mr Chouhan says his government wishes to construct a grand memorial at
Delhi also at
Dr. Ambedkar’s Nirvan Bhumi, but his hands are tied since the Union Government is
not cooperating, reports SMS News & Features.
On Saturday, Chief Minister Mr
Shivraj Singh Chouhan paid rich tributes to Dr. Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar at
his birth place in Mhow. Addressing the Ambedkar Mahakumbh and National Unity
and Social Harmony Convention on the occasion, Chief Minister Mr Chouhan said
that Madhya Pradesh government wishes to construct a grand memorial at
Parinirvan Bhumi in New Delhi .
Construction of a grand memorial over there is being delayed due to
non-cooperative attitude on the part of the Union Government since Parinirvan
Bhumi of Baba Saheb is under its possession. Chief Minister Mr Chouhan made an
appeal to the Prime Minister to allot this land to Madhya Pradesh government if
the Union Government is unable to construct a memorial over there. Madhya
Pradesh government is ready for all round development and construction of this
memorial.
Chief Minister Mr Chouhan said
that the State Government has constructed a grand memorial of Dr. Ambedkar at
Mhow. This year, a giant bronze statue of Dr. Ambedkar will also be erected at
Mhow. Ambedkar Mahakumbh will be given such a grand look that people from all
over the world will be enthusiastic to witness it. He said that Dr. Ambedkar
possessed a unique personality. Whatever he did for social upliftment is worthy
of being followed. Madhya Pradesh government is trying to follow his foot
steps. The government is running several schemes for the welfare and
development of weaker and poor sections of society.
Giving information about the welfare
and development works undertaken by the State Government for scheduled castes,
Chief Minister Mr Chouhan announced that now coaching will be imparted to
scheduled caste youths for UPSC exams. In the first phase two each students
will be selected for it from every district of the state. Later, this number
will be increased.

attention will be paid for making available all the facilities to the devotees
coming to Mahakumbh. The devotees expressed satisfaction over the arrangements
