"Telangana has set a goal of becoming a pioneer in the upliftment of Dalits," he said, adding, "Ambedkar's relentless struggle for social justice and women's empowerment continues to inspire the world."

A zealous social reformer and renowned lawyer, Dr Ambedkar devoted his life to justice, equality, and the empowerment of the marginalized," he said in his message.

"Babasaheb's life stands as a shining testament to the triumph of the human spirit over adversity. His legacy inspires us to build a just and inclusive society," the Governor added, calling upon citizens to reaffirm their commitment to constitutional values and work together to restore the glory of the nation.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope these schemes actually reach the people who need them most. Implementation is key - we've seen too many welfare programs fail at the ground level.

Ambedkar's vision was truly ahead of its time. Happy to see his birth anniversary being celebrated with such meaningful initiatives rather than just symbolic gestures.

The Rajiv Yuva Shakti Scheme could be a game-changer if executed properly. Self-employment opportunities can break the cycle of poverty. Fingers crossed!

Respectful suggestion: The government should also focus on creating awareness about these schemes. Many beneficiaries don't even know they exist.
