The tribute ceremony was attended by Railway Board Chairman & CEO Satish Kumar, senior Railway Board officials, and representatives from the All India SC/ST Railway Employees Association.

Born on April 14, 1891, in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh, Dr. Ambedkar’s tireless efforts toward eradicating social discrimination continue to inspire millions across India.
On this solemn day, people across the country pay homage to his invaluable legacy and reaffirm their commitment to building an egalitarian society rooted in the principles he championed.
