On the 28th of August 2024, CRPF PUBLIC SCHOOL, ROHINI organised an excursion for students from classes XI and XII of the Humanities stream to visit the Ambedkar National Memorial in Delhi. The trip was organized to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's life, his role in shaping modern India, and his enduring legacy as a champion of social justice.

Located at Dr. Ambedkar's last residence, the memorial stands as a testament to his life's work and ideals. The site has been meticulously transformed into a museum that chronicles his journey from humble beginnings to becoming the principal architect of the Indian Constitution.

The students were guided through the memorial by a knowledgeable guide who provided insights into various aspects of Dr. Ambedkar’s life and work:

The tour began with a detailed look at Dr. Ambedkar's early life, highlighting the challenges he faced due to the prevailing caste system and his determination to pursue education despite these obstacles. This resonated deeply with the students, as it underscored the importance of education in overcoming social barriers.

A significant portion of the visit focused on Dr. Ambedkar’s role in drafting the Indian Constitution. Students explored the Constitution Gallery, where they were shown original drafts, manuscripts, and documents that detailed the rigorous process of drafting the Constitution. This exhibit reinforced the lessons taught in their school courses providing real-world context to theoretical knowledge.

The memorial also highlighted Dr. Ambedkar's involvement in various social reform movements. The exhibits demonstrated his relentless efforts to combat caste-based discrimination and his advocacy for the rights of the marginalized. This provided a profound understanding of the complexities of Indian society and the role of reformers in driving social change.

The students were also shown personal items belonging to Dr. Ambedkar, including his books, clothing, and other memorabilia. These artifacts helped humanize the iconic figure, offering students a glimpse into his personal life.

The trip to the Ambedkar National Memorial was a significant educational experience for the students. It not only enriched their understanding of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s monumental contributions to Indian society but also inspired them to think critically about the role of individuals in shaping history.
