Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was the chief architect of India's Constitution, actively shaping it as the chairman of the Drafting Committee. The Constitution came into effect on January 26, 1950.
Post-independence, he became India's first Law Minister, significantly contributing to drafting laws addressing social and economic concerns.
Appointed as chairman on August 29, 1947, he led the Drafting Committee, responsible for preparing the new constitution's draft.
Beyond constitution-making, Ambedkar was a prominent social reformer, advocating for the rights of marginalized communities, fighting social discrimination and untouchability.
Ambedkar played a crucial role in ensuring the inclusion of fundamental rights in India's Constitution, safeguarding citizens' liberties.
Tirelessly championed the rights of Dalits, fighting untouchability, and working for their social and economic upliftment.
His contributions to law, social justice, and constitution-making earned international recognition. He was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1990, India's highest civilian honor.
