BHEl, Bhopal celebrated the 123rd birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Bhimrao Babasaheb Ambedkar with great zeal and fervour. The programme started with garlanding of the statue. Executive Director SR Prasad; General Manager (HR) Sarvesh Chaturvedi; Working president, BHECNIS DK Thakur; Ravindra Aind, Mahesh Ram GMs, officials of SC/ST Welfare Association, various union representatives and large number of township residents were present on this occasion.
Prasad in his address said that Babasaheb dedicated his entire life for the development as well as the progress of the nation with emphasis on the society. He was a legendary personality who made significant contribution in building a new India. He possessed extraordinary visionary qualities. Babasaheb wished to bring about a revolutionary change in the society. He wanted all round development of the nation with equal opportunity for all. Babasaheb dreamt of building a powerful India who could lead the universe and uplifting the citizen of this country to be socially, financially and politically skilled. He considered India to be rich in resources; the land of the most skilful people.
Prasad requested the gatherings to take inspiration from the life of Ambedkar to work selflessly for the development of the nation. ‘We share the same belief about Bhimrao Ambedkar, as we used to share 50 years ago. Social development is not possible without literacy and Babasaheb perceived this long ago. Transformation is evident in Indian history before and after the implementation of policies brought in by him”, said Chaturvedi.
Thakur speaking on this occasion said that today a lot of changes have come into the society with differences still looming large. It is our moral duty to wipe out all the differences, added Thakur. On this occasion Buddha vandana was also recited offering reverence to the great visionary.
