Tamil Nadu government announced in the Assembly that the birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar on April 14 would be celebrated as 'Equality Day' from this year onwards.
According to a government order, the crux of the pledge to be taken in all government offices, would be upholding and following equality and the oath would be against caste discrimination.
Notably, reformist leader Periyar’s birth anniversary, on September 17, has already been declared as Social Justice Day by the DMK government.
Ambedkar Jayanti or Bhim Jayanti is marked annually on April 14 in order to pay homage to the father of the Constitution of India, Dr BR Ambedkar, also known as Babasaheb Ambedkar.
