Key Activities and Programs

DAIC conducts a wide range of activities to promote its mission:

Why DAIC is Important

Dr. Ambedkar’s vision was not limited to the drafting of the Constitution; it extended to the creation of an egalitarian society free from caste-based discrimination, poverty, and ignorance. The DAIC stands as a symbolic and functional tribute to this vision, ensuring that his legacy remains relevant, studied, and actively practiced in India’s contemporary context.

In a society still grappling with issues of inequality and exclusion, DAIC serves as a critical platform for reform, awareness, and empowerment.

Conclusion

The Dr. Ambedkar International Centre is more than a research institution—it is a national monument to the values of equality, justice, and dignity. Through its programs, resources, and academic initiatives, DAIC seeks to create a more informed, inclusive, and equitable India, in line with Dr. Ambedkar’s ideals.

For scholars, students, activists, and policymakers, DAIC offers a space to learn, reflect, and contribute to building a just society for all.
