The 124th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratan Bodhisattva Baba Saheb Dr. Bhim Rao Ram ji Ambedkar was celebrated with great love and devotion by his followers of all age at Sansad Marg, New Delhi. This time, due to the magnanimity of one news channel, people all over the world could see the glimpse of this big Mela at Sansad Marg.
The Central Secretariat SC/ST Employees Welfare Association also participated in these celebration. Though our preparations for these celebrations started a bit late but thanks to concerted efforts of our comrades, we were able to put up a good show of our joy. With the guidance of Shri M.S. Kalania, Deputy Secretary we chalked out a quick action plan which was implemented quickly under the leadership of our dynamic President Bhai Rohtas Bhankhar. Bhai Raj Kumar, Secretary of Association got the banners prepared. Bhai Rohtas Ji, Dalpat Singh and myself arranged for tents and Halwa Prasad.
Blocking space at Sansad Marg was chellenging. One small vendor of chains and zips at the footpath of Sansad Marg was very kind enough to help us in keeping the space reserved for this auspicious occasion. He told us that us that he is also a child of Baba Saheb he will stay there round the clock till the celebrations are over. We were touched by his emotions. The presence of the vendor saved the space for us at the venue otherwise people from other organisations would have occupied the space for their own stalls.
Shri G.P. Sarkar called me up in the early morning to say that he would be ready to accompany us to the Halwai Shop to pick up the Halwa Prasad, which we had got prepared at special order. I was greatly relieved with his call. Bhai Dalpat Singh, myself and my younger son Shashank left together to be with G.P. Sarkar to pick up the Halwa. G.P. Sarkar Sahab was waiting for energetically. He called an auto-rickshaw, loaded the Halwa-pans himself and sat in the auto-rickshaw along with my son. He asked me and Dalpat Singh to hurry to the venue. I was over-whelmed with emotions to see his devotion to Baba Saheb.
At the venue, our friends Sanjeev Kumar, M.L. Verma and R.S. Verma were already waiting for us. In a few minutes time, Shri Ram Lakhan, Dy. Secy. (AYUSH), Rajbir Singh, Dy.DGFT, too arrived. Thereafter, friends kept coming one by one. Beautiful children along with their parents and elders were adding sparkles to the occasion on Sansad Marg. Young boys and girls were chanting songs and slogans in the praise of their Messiah. Few were dancing at the beats of a big Drum placed on small wheels. Every one was charged up with emotions of gratefulness to Baba Saheb.
At around 10.15 a.m. we started distributing Halwa Prasad to all the visitors on Sansad Marg. It was a great feeling to share the prasad with so many brothers and sisters and children. After Halwa Prasad, one of our friends brought packets of Frooti and water which was distributed among a large number of people. As soon as Frooti juice and water was finished, Bhai Promod Kumar Nim from DGFT brought three bags full of oranges for distribution to the devoted followers of Baba Saheb. Such sharing gave immense pleasure not only to those who distributed but also to those enjoyed such distribution.
Smt. Vimla Saroha, Vice - Chairman, Dr. Ambedkar Foundation and Shri Ram Ratan, Member, Dr. Ambedkar Foundation, Shri R.S. Punia, ex- Dy. Secy. visited our stall and shared their views. Many senior officers like Shri Raj Singh, Joint Secretary in Agriculture, Shri Ajay Kumar, IRS and Shri R. Muthuraj, ITS graced our stall along with their families. S/Shri Ashish Gawai, Joseph Barla, A.K. Dungdung, Yoginder Singh also spared their time to be part of the celebrations.
We are grateful to all our friends who joined us in our small effort to be a part of the big event. We are also grateful to all those who could not join us at Sansad Marg but their hearts were with us.
I would only like to say that communities remember their great people and express their gratitude towards them through such occasions only. We should always be together to celebrate the special days associated with our great pantheons like Baba Saheb, Mahatama Jyotiba Phule, Birsa Munda and so on.
