Portraits of Bhagat Singh, Ambedkar to be put up at MCD schools: Mayor

Portraits of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and social reformer B R Ambedkar will be put up at all MCD-run schools, the office of Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi said on Tuesday.
The AAP-led Municipal Corporation of Delhi has taken the decision so as to inspire students to learn from the sacrifices of these leaders and the principles they espoused, it said.
The decision comes in line with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s vision of spreading the message of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and Babasaheb B R Ambedkar among the masses, the Mayor’s office said.

The AAP-led MCD plans to honour the legacy of these two great Indian leaders at all MCD-run schools.
Mayor Oberoi has issued directions to “install portraits of the two iconic figures at every MCD school to inspire every student and teacher with their sacrifices, principles, and ideals,” her office said.

The AAP-led dispensation in the corporation hopes that by commemorating the legacy of these great leaders at all MCD schools, every student and teacher will be inspired to follow in their footsteps and work towards creating a more prosperous and progressive society, it added.
