District President Nand Kishore Sharma spoke about the importance of educating the younger generation about Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions. "It is our responsibility to carry forward the ideals of social harmony, equality, and justice that Ambedkar stood for. The BJP is committed to this cause," Sharma said, encouraging party workers to organize similar programs at the grassroots level.

DDC Chairman Jammu, Bharat Bhushan, also addressed the gathering, highlighting how the policies of the BJP-led government are inspired by Ambedkar’s vision. "Schemes like Stand-Up India, Mudra Yojana, and constitutional amendments for social justice reflect our commitment to Ambedkar's principles," he said. Bharat Bhushan also called upon youth to study Ambedkar’s life to understand the true spirit of democracy and social reform.

The program was also graced by senior BJP leaders including Karan Singh, Omi Khajuria, and Rajinder Singh.
