Sending a strong message to its detractors, the Modi-led NDA government decided to launch the Gram Uday Se Bharat Uday Abhiyan to “generate efforts to increase social harmony across villages”, “promote rural development” and “foster farmers’ welfare and livelihood of the poor”. And what could have been the better launching date than 14 April 2016?
For those who don’t know, 14 April marks the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the social reformer and a tireless campaigner against social discrimination. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the campaign at B.R. Ambedkar’s ancestral village, Mhow, in Madhya Pradesh.
