Dr BR Ambedkar Murti Vikas Yojana
The Cabinet has already approved the ‘Dr BR Ambedkar Murti Vikas Yojana’, under which 10 memorials and statues of great icons of social justice will be developed and beautified in each Assembly constituency of the state, with a total expenditure of ₹403 crore.
Under this scheme, statues and memorials of great personalities such as Babasaheb BR Ambedkar, Ravidas, Kabir, Jyotirao Phule, and Valmiki, among others, will be preserved, beautified, and developed with basic infrastructure.
This will help preserve the legacy of social justice icons and connect the new generation with their ideas. CM Yogi Adityanath has directed that all events be conducted with official dignity, decorum, and discipline. Through this initiative, the Yogi government aims to establish Ambedkar Jayanti as a major public campaign for social justice, cultural awareness, and youth participation.
