K Chandrasekhar Rao to unveil India's tallest Ambedkar statue in Hyderabad today - Indiatimes.com

HYDERABAD: CM K Chandrasekhar Rao along with B R Ambedkar's grandson Prakash Ambedkar will inaugurate the 125-foot-high Ambedkar statue on banks of Hussainsagar near the new Secretariat complex on Friday, coinciding with birth anniversary celebrations of the architect of the Constitution. Touted as India's tallest Ambedkar statue, the project was completed at a cost of Rs 147 crore. While Prakash Ambedkar will be the chief guest, sculptor Ram Vanji Sutar would be felicitated. Flowers will be showered on the statue from a helicopter.
BRS leaders, party members and public from various constituencies in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are expected to attend the event. The ruling BRS has painted the city pink with banners, cut-outs, flags, buntings and hoardings, announcing the inauguration.
KCR said the installation of Ambedkar's statue in the heart of Hyderabad on his birth anniversary is a matter of pride, not only for Telangana but the entire country. "Telangana is paying a big tribute to Telangana Bandhu Ambedkar, who incorporated Article 3 in the Constitution, which bolstered our claim for statehood," KCR said.
The BRS government is implementing special schemes for uplift of Dalits. Quality education through Gurukul schools, special development fund for SCs and STs, financial aid of 20 lakh under Ambedkar Overseas Scholarship are some of the schemes, he said.
The foundation of the project was laid in 2016, but work at site began on April 14, 2021.
