Ambedkar Jayanti 2023 DOPT Order
The Government of India has decided to declare the 12th of April 2023 as a closed holiday on account of the birthday of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, for all central government offices including Industrial Establishments throughout India, by invoking the powers under section 25 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
Ambedkar Jayanti 2023 is celebrated every year on April 14, in honour of the Dalit icon who dedicated his entire life and work to the upliftment of labourers, women, and untouchables. Dr B R Ambedkar not only drafted the country’s constitution, but he also helped establish India’s central banking institution, the Reserve Bank of India. He was the driving force behind one of India’s most important movements, the Dalit Buddhist Movement, as an economist, social reformer, and jurist.
