Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today paid tributes to B R Ambedkar on his 126th birth anniversary.
Paying homage, Das said the people need to know about Ambedkar and he deserves the same position as Martin Luther King.
"The state government is providing houses to homeless widows under Bhim Rao Ambedkar Aawas Yojana. Very soon, a Schedule Caste Commission will be formed in the state for the welfare of the Schedule Castes," an official release said quoting Das.
The Chief Minister garlanded the statue of Ambedkar at Doranda here.
Stating that Ambedkar stressed on education and the modern concept of democracy was developed by him, Das said Jharkhand government has started the 'Vidyalay Chalo Chalain Abhiyan' to eliminate dropout rates and maximise admission.
