Celebrated during the harvest season, the festival reflects the agrarian roots and cultural vibrancy of the nation. Baisakhi also marks the day when the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, founded the Khalsa Panth.

The festival is celebrated in various forms across India, often symbolising the start of a new year.

The Chief Minister wished that the festival of Baisakhi brings joy, prosperity, and happiness to everyone's lives.

While I appreciate the celebrations, I wish more focus was given to implementing Ambedkar's vision of social equality rather than just ceremonial tributes. The real tribute would be working towards the society he dreamed of.

The cleanliness drive before the celebrations is a thoughtful touch. Keeping our public spaces clean is indeed a great way to honor national heroes. Hope people maintain this cleanliness throughout the year!

It's wonderful that students are being involved in these events. Our youth need to understand Ambedkar's vision for India. Maybe schools could organize essay competitions too?

Nice to see both Ambedkar Jayanti and Baisakhi being given equal importance. That's the spirit of unity in diversity that Babasaheb championed. Happy Baisakhi to all! 🌾

The article mentions seminars about Ambedkar's work - does anyone know if these will be live-streamed? Would love to attend virtually if possible! #AmbedkarJayanti
