Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Punyatithi, also known as Mahaparinirvan Diwas, is observed on December 6th each year. This day marks the death anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and a champion for social justice, equality, and human rights.

In 2024, Dr. Ambedkar’s 68th Punyatithi will be commemorated across India and among communities worldwide that honor his contributions. The day serves as a moment of reflection on his efforts to eliminate caste discrimination, empower marginalized communities, and promote education and equality.
