The Ambedkar International Center (AIC) is a non-profit organization based in the United States of America, dedicated to promoting the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, a social reformer and the architect of the Indian Constitution. The AIC was founded in 2004 by a group of scholars, activists, and community leaders, with the aim of spreading awareness about Dr. Ambedkar’s ideas and philosophy, and their relevance in the contemporary world.
The AIC organizes various events and programs throughout the year, including lectures, seminars, workshops, and cultural events, to promote the study and dissemination of Dr. Ambedkar’s ideas and teachings. The AIC also works towards strengthening the socio-economic and political status of marginalized communities in India and around the world, in keeping with Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of social justice and equality.
The AIC’s activities are focused on four main areas:
- Education: The AIC provides scholarships and financial assistance to students from disadvantaged backgrounds to help them pursue higher education.
