Patna (Bihar) [India], April 13 (ANI): Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, while addressing the ‘Jai Bhim Padyatra’ program on Sunday, said that the youths were the future of the country, further urged them to respect the constitution and fulfill the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
“Youth is the future of the country. Dr BR Ambedkar gave the constitution, and through it, equal rights to the people of the country. The youth must move forward with these rights, respect the constitution and fulfill the goal of Viksit Bharat…” Mandaviya said, addressing the event.
The event commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar. ‘Jai Bhim Padyatra’ honours his legacy along with 10,000 MY Bharat Youth Volunteers.
“PM Modi has resolved to establish Viksit Bharat in 2047, when the country completes 100 years of independence. This padyatra has been organized so that crores of youth become a part of this resolve,” added Mandaviya.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports said that similar padyatras would take place simultaneously across all major state capitals in India.
“This marks the first time a nationwide padyatra is being conducted across state capitals, uniting thousands of youth in a collective tribute to Babasaheb’s vision of equality, justice, and fraternity,” an official statement said.
The padayatra in Patna will begin from the iconic Gandhi Maidan and proceed along a vibrant, culturally rich route that will feature Tribute Corners with Ambedkar’s quotes, live art and street performances on social reform, pledge points for youth, and musical-theatrical acts inspired by his legacy, the ministry said.
The key highlights of the ‘Jai Bhim Padyatra’ include a nationwide Preamble reading by MY Bharat volunteers and statue-cleaning drives at Ambedkar memorials across all districts, symbolizing a united commitment to constitutional values and civic responsibility.
The ‘Jai Bhim Padyatra’ is the ninth in a series of 24 padyatras to be organized as part of the celebration of 75 years of the Indian Constitution. Each padyatra under this campaign is a symbolic journey, connecting today’s youth to the values of justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity. (ANI)
