About Ambedkar Jayanti
Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Jayanti is observed annually on April 14 to commemorate the birth of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891)—the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, a distinguished jurist, and a pioneering social reformer.
Also known as Bhim Jayanti or Equality Day, the occasion honours Dr. Ambedkar's lifelong fight against caste discrimination and social injustice, as well as his contributions towards securing rights and dignity for marginalised communities in India.
