Patna/New Delhi, 13 April (H.S.): Nationwide padyatras are set to occur simultaneously in major Indian state capitals, marking a historic event that united thousands of youth in homage to Babasaheb Ambedkar’s ideals of equality, justice, and fraternity.

The Patna padyatra will commence at Gandhi Maidan, featuring a culturally vibrant path adorned with Tribute Corners displaying Ambedkar’s quotes, live art, street performances on social reform, and musical acts inspired by his legacy.
