He will later address a public meeting in the afternoon and interact with Dalit leaders and activists in the evening.

Born at Mhow in Madhya Pradesh, Ambedkar (1891-1956) was a jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who campaigned against social discrimination against dalits and women.

The Congress will also organise state-level functions to mark Ambedkar's 125th birth anniversary.
