“I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.”
On April 14, 2026, the nation will celebrate the birth anniversary of the Architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.
For students and teachers, this is not just a holiday; it is “Equality Day” (Samanta Diwas).
Whether you are hosting a school assembly or a colony function, your anchoring needs to be powerful. It must reflect the weight of the Constitution and the spirit of Justice.
Just like Shivaji Jayanti requires “Josh” (Energy), Ambedkar Jayanti requires “Intellect” and “Respect.”
Below is a complete Multilingual Anchoring Script (English + Hindi + Marathi) to help you host the perfect tribute.
1. The Powerful Introduction (Manch Sanchalan)
(Scene: Anchors should be dressed formally. A photo of Dr. Ambedkar with a blue garland is on stage.)
Anchor 1 (English): “Good Morning to the Respected Principal, Teachers, and my dear friends. Today, we are gathered to celebrate the birth of a man who used a pen to fight for justice.”
Anchor 2 (Hindi): “Jinhone dabe-kuchle logon ko awaaz di, Jinhone Bharat ko ek naya samvidhan diya. Wo the humare Babasaheb Ambedkar!”
Anchor 1: “Today is April 14, the Birth Anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Let us begin this celebration with a loud roar of respect.”
Anchor 2: “Bole So Nihal… Jai Bhim!”
(Audience: Jai Bhim!)
2. Garland & Candle Lighting (Shradhanjali)
Anchor 1: “Knowledge is the only light that can drive away the darkness of inequality. I request our Principal Sir to garland the portrait of Babasaheb and light the candle.”
(Background Music: ‘Buddham Sharanam Gacchami’ or Instrumental)
Anchor 2 (during lighting): “He was born in a humble family, sat outside the classroom, yet he rose to become the most educated man in the Constituent Assembly. His life teaches us that ‘Education is the milk of a tigress’.”
3. Speech for Students (English)
(Best for Class 8-12)
Title: The Architect of Modern India
“Respected Principal and friends.
When we talk about Dr. Ambedkar, we often limit him to the ‘Dalit Leader’. But he was much more than that.
- Did you know he established the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)?
- Did you know he fought for Women’s Rights and Labor Laws?
- Did you know he held degrees from Columbia University and London School of Economics?
Babasaheb taught us three things: ‘Educate, Agitate, Organize.’
Today, the best tribute we can give him is not just by garlanding his statue, but by respecting the Constitution he wrote.
Let us promise to treat everyone equally, regardless of their caste or religion.
Jai Hind! Jai Bhim!”
4. Short Speech in Hindi (Chhatron Ke Liye)
(Best for Hindi Bhaashan Competition)
Title: Baba Saheb Ki Seekh
“Namaskar.
Mera naam [Aapka Naam] hai.
Aaj hum Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti mana rahe hain.
Baba Saheb ka kehna tha—‘Shiksha wo sherni ka doodh hai, jo piyega wo dahadega.’
Unhone humein Samvidhan (Constitution) diya.
Unhone gareebon ko haq dilaya.
Humein unke dikhaye raaste par chalna chahiye.
Dhanyavaad.”
5. Marathi Quotes for Anchoring (Sutrasanchalan)
(Since Babasaheb was from Maharashtra, Marathi lines are essential)
Start with:
“Kayadaa bhalehi andhala asel,
Pan kayadaa lihnaraa andhala navhta!”
End with:
“Manasaala maanus mhanun jagnyachaadhikaar denarya
Mahamanvala koti koti pranam!”
6. Slogans for Posters & Rallies
(If your school has a procession)
- “Baba tera mission adhura, hum sab milkar karenge pura!”
- “Jab tak suraj chand rahega, Baba tera naam rahega!”
- “Educate! Agitate! Organize!”
- “One Country, One Constitution, One Destiny.”
Pro-Tips: How to Host Ambedkar Jayanti
1. The “Blue” Theme
Blue is the color associated with Ambedkarite movements (symbolizing the sky/equality).
- Tip: Anchors can wear a Blue Tie or a Blue Handkerchief in the pocket as a mark of respect.
2. Focus on “Education”
Unlike other Jayantis where we talk about war and swords, this Jayanti is about Books and Degrees.
- Prop: Hold a copy of the “Constitution of India” (or a mock book) while anchoring. It looks very powerful.
3. Fact Check
Never say he “wrote” the Constitution alone. Say he was the “Chairman of the Drafting Committee.” Accuracy is important.
