Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar founded the People’s Education Society on 8th July 1945.
“The People’s Education Society’s objective is not merely to give education but to give education in such a manner as to promote intellectual, moral and social democracy. This is what modern India needs and this is what all well wishers of India must promote.”
___Dr.B. R. Ambedkar
He firmly believed that education was the only effective lever for the uplift of the down-trodden.
He once said that ‘My final word of advice to you is educate, agitate and organize, have faith in yourself. With justice on our side, I do not see how we can lose our battle.
