Dr Ambedkar's Legacy in Medical Education
Dr Ambedkar himself earned multiple doctorates and advocated strongly for education as the primary tool for social emancipation. His famous exhortation "Educate, Agitate, Organise" placed education at the centre of social transformation. A medical college bearing his name carries the institutional responsibility of making quality healthcare education accessible to students from marginalised communities who may be entering medicine as first-generation professionals in their families.
