The ideals of B.R. Ambedkar must be practised in everyday life, Andhra Pradesh State Right to Information (RTI) Commissioner P.S. Naidu said at a programme organised at Andhra University on Tuesday (April 14, 2026) to mark Ambedkar Jayanti.

Mr. Naidu paid floral tributes to Ambedkar’s statues at the university’s administrative building and the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar College of Law. Addressing a gathering later at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Assembly Hall, he said the Constitution had laid a firm foundation for social justice by ensuring equal rights for all citizens and by seeking to eliminate economic and caste-based inequalities. He said knowledge was the most powerful instrument for individual progress, a message reflected in Ambedkar’s life.
