Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized on Sunday that fostering a developed and inclusive Bharat would be the true tribute to Dr B R Ambedkar, the principal framer of the Indian Constitution.

In his Hindi-written message in the venue's visitor diary, Modi expressed his honor at visiting Deekshabhoomi, one of the five 'Panchthirth' of Ambedkar. He noted the site embodies Ambedkar's vision of social harmony, equality, and justice.

Modi further stated that Deekshabhoomi inspires momentum towards a society of equal rights for all, especially the underprivileged. He expressed confidence that during this 'Amrit Kaalkhand', India's progress will be elevated by embracing Ambedkar's teachings.
