Born on April 14, 1891, the legal luminary Dr. Ambedkar was the Chief Architect of the Indian Constitution and the first Law Minister of free India.
Bhimotsav Samanvay Samiti (BSS) Coordinator Dr Vijay Kadam said that a grand function shall be held in Worli Jamboree Ground on April 8 (Saturday) with a series of programmes.
Mumbai's famed Merwans Confectioners will bake the 10 feet X 5 feet and 4-inch tall popular 'Lemon Crackle' cake, with dollops of cream and a special design in icing which will be cut to the accompaniment of a fireworks display and a shower of flowers from the air, said Nikhil Raut, who has designed the cake.
"This will be a dual celebration marking Dr. Ambedkar's birth anniversary and also the 125th anniversary of his wife, Mata Ramabai, revered as Ramai, as also the 117th year of their wedding," Dr Kadam told IANS.
The BSS has organised a series of events, games and cultural events with performances by several top ones including world-renowned Buddhist musician Pawa, famed Marathi folk singer (Koli music) Santosh Chaudhary Dadus, tabla expondent Pt. Mukesh Jadhav, singers Pravin Done, Shirish Pawar, Sonali Sonawane, Anuja Kamat and other artists accompanying them, he added.
Hundreds of women, senior citizens and children shall be given prizes worth several lakhs including traditional Paithani and nauvari saree, suits, gold and silver jewellery, school supplies and gift vouchers for various events.
A day before, on Friday, a national-level Chess tourney shall be held for the N.S. Samata Cup-2023, for young chess experts, said Dr Kadam.
Family members of a 15-year-old girl, who died two days after getting operated at a Delhi hospital, have alleged that her organs had been removed by hospital authorities. The family alleged that after an operation of appendicitis at a hospital, in which she died, plastic bags, used for collecting urine, were found in her stomach area.
Appearing for the Centre, advocate Anurag Ahluwalia told the court that as Singh has violated Section 11A of the Foreigners Order, 1948, which prohibits a foreigner from producing any picture, film or documentary without permission in writing from the Centre, he is a blacklisted subject.
On January 13, Mishra told the court that he was not the accused. "There must be someone else who peed or it must be her who urinated," he had said. He further claimed that the woman was suffering from some prostate-related disease.
Modi said that it was perhaps the first time where Pariksha Pe Charcha was being held in such cold weather, since it is usually held in February.

It has one of the fastest-growing major economies -- certainly among comparably developed and similarly sized economies. It must now be included with nations that influence the global system, the report said.
