About Dr. Ambedkar Chairs
In 1992, the Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Centenary Celebrations Committee recommended the establishment of subject-wise “Dr. Ambedkar Chairs” across leading Universities and Institutions. These Chairs are a tribute to one of India’s greatest visionaries, dedicated to studying and disseminating his ideas and philosophy in their present-day relevance.
On 22nd April 2022, the Dr. Ambedkar Foundation signed MoUs with 24 Universities/Institutions at BHU Varanasi to formally establish these Chairs, transforming them into advanced centres of learning, research, and policy engagement.
