On the occasion of Ambedkar jayanti tomorrow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Nagpur where he will visit a sacred place closely associated with the dalit icon and inaugurate a series of development projects.
"I am extremely honoured to be visiting Nagpur tomorrow, on the very special occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti," he tweeted.
"In Nagpur, I will pray at Deekshabhoomi, a holy spot that is very closely associated with Dr. Ambedkar," he added.
Deekshabhoomi is a sacred monument of Buddhism located where Ambedkar reverted to Buddhism on Ashok Vijaya Dashami on October 14, 1956.
"We are unwavering in our efforts towards creating a strong, prosperous and inclusive India of Dr. Ambedkar's dreams," Modi said.
A series of development projects are going to be inaugurated in Nagpur tomorrow, which will have a positive impact on people's lives, the Prime Minister said.
The development projects include IIIT, IIM and AIIMS and launch of Koradi Thermal Power Station.
He will also address a public meeting.
"Will join culmination of the DigiDhan Mela, where I will present awards to Mega Draw winners of Lucky Grahak Yojana and DigiDhan Vyapar Yojna," Modi said in another tweet.
