14th April 2025, Agartala: A special tribute was paid to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at Ujjayanta Palace, Agartala, Tripura, as part of a commemorative event held in the morning hours. The programme was organised near the statue of Dr. Ambedkar located on the palace premises — a historically significant site built in 1901 that once served as the seat of the royal Manikya dynasty and later functioned as the Tripura Legislative Assembly until 2011. Today, the palace stands as the Tripura State Museum, preserving the state’s rich cultural heritage.
The programme was graced by the Honourable Chief Minister of Tripura, Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, along with Social Welfare Minister Mala Mina Rani Sarkar, Minister Sudhangshu Das, and senior officials from the Youth Affairs Department and the Information and Cultural Affairs (ICA) Department. Students from various colleges and members of the NSS Scouts also participated in large numbers.
To mark the occasion, a floral tribute was offered at the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The Chief Minister, along with other dignitaries, garlanded the sculpture, showing deep respect for the architect of the Indian Constitution. In his address, the Chief Minister emphasised that Tripura, under the leadership of the BJP, is committed to upholding the principles and ideology of Dr. Ambedkar, especially those relating to social justice, equality, and education.
Following the tribute, a 'Pada Yatra' (foot rally) was organised under a unified banner. Officials, students, NSS members, and youth from different walks of life joined the procession, reflecting a shared commitment to the ideals of Ambedkar. The event not only paid homage to a great leader but also aimed to inspire the younger generation to walk the path of justice and inclusion.
