Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Awards Committee

The Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Awards (National and International) were established to honour the legacy of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the First Law Minister of India and the principal architect of the Indian Constitution. These prestigious awards aim to recognize individuals and organizations that have demonstrated excellence in their respective fields, inspiring others through their dedication, innovation, and contributions to society and the nation.

Each year, these elite awards seek to identify and celebrate outstanding performers who have left a lasting impact, fostering a culture of excellence and encouraging future generations to follow in their footsteps.

The event is conceptualized and managed by the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Awards Committee, operating under the aegis of the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Sports Foundation, an organization in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2021.
