Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Thoughts on Atamnirbhar Bharat: An Overview

Abstract

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was popularly known as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. He was born on April 14, 1891 in Mhow village in Madhya Pradesh. Ambedkar was a leader, jurist, social reformer, political thinker and Politician. He is also known as the, “Father of Indian Constitution.” Throughout his life, he fought for the rights of the Dalits and other socially backward classes. New challenges and opportunities have emerged for India in the 21st century. The political and economic equality among citizens is present, but it is not equally distributed in social or economic areas. Successful democracy is not a socioeconomic tool provided by the Indian constitution, which must be executed properly by various government forms to create welfare state. The welfare state is necessary for the genuine attainment of Atamnirbhar Bharat. Dr. B R. Ambedkar’s socioeconomic perspective suggests that the government will provide a free education and health facility for all individuals, which is beneficial as he believes it will make India renowned as an exceptional human resource. India’s democracy is undoubtedly the largest in the world. A more efficient democratic system requires the appropriate utilization of resources to benefit the common people. Every citizen is entitled to receive access education and healthcare facilities, which in turn help provide effective services for the nation. Atamnirbhar Bharat, a new government initiative, promotes local talent and generates new employment opportunities for people. The National Education Policy 2020 will help India to become a Vishwaguru by creating ogivable bases for an Atamnirbhar Bharat. The objective of the Atamnirbhar Bharat is to make India self-reliant by strengthening the economic system of the country and to give a new direction to the Development journey of the country.
