Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday said that the state government is working tirelessly for ameliorating the woes of weaker and underprivileged sections of society to realize the dreams of Bharat Ratna Baba Sahib Dr BR Ambedkar- the Chief Architect of Indian Constitution.

 Addressing a gathering during a state level function to mark the birth anniversary, the Chief Minister described Baba Sahib as a great scholar, jurist, economist, social reformer and a statesman. He said that Baba Sahib Dr BR Ambedkar was one of the most towering personalities in the entire world history. 

 Mann said that due to this his government is tirelessly making efforts to improve the standard of education to empower the common man adding that with six SC Ministers in Cabinet, first time ever reservation on AG office and hassle free disbursement of SC scholarship AAP government is realising dreams of Baba Sahib.

He said that to realize the dreams of this great leader, the state government is making concerted efforts to rejuvenate the health and education system in the state. He said that hitherto sending his child to government school was the compulsion of the common man but now it will be his wish to do so as the education system is being revamped. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that Schools of Eminence have been set up across the state to impart quality education to the students adding that in similar manner the government health system is also being upgraded.

He said that the previous governments never paid heed towards imparting quality education to the students, adding that the sons and daughters of big leaders used to study in convent schools at hills due to which the government schools were never their thrust areas. 

Mann also announced that the state government will organise a series of events to commemorate the upcoming 350th martyrdom day of ninth Sikh Guru Sri Guru Teg Bahadur ji on a massive level. He said that a series of functions will be organized across the state and comprehensive development of places having the footsteps of the Guru Sahib will be ensured. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the state government is already chalking out a detailed program to organise a series of events to commemorate the martyrdom day of the great Sikh Guru.
