Statue of Social Justice

In April 2016, the then Chief Minister of Telangana, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, has also decided to install a 206-feet tall statue of Ambedkar in Hyderabad city.

The foundation stone of the memorial was laid by N. Chandrababu Naidu, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on the 126th birth anniversary of Ambedkar in 2017.

[5] On 19 January 2024, the Statue of Social Justice was unveiled by Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

[20] The statue has been built in 18.81 acres (7.61 ha) in the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Smriti Vanam in Vijayawada at a cost of ₹404.35 crore.

[21] The dazzling 206-foot bronze statue was installed on an 81-foot pedestal made with Kala Chakra Maha Mandala Buddhist architecture to make it attractive in its sky-high posture.

Incorporating design elements such as shear walls, inclined slabs, and beams with a 50-degree tilt not only enhances its structural integrity but also contributes to the distinctive aesthetic appeal of the building.

[10] The Ambedkat Smruthi Vanam also consists of a detailed Ambedkar Experience section that depicts the life and times of the visionary.

B. R. Ambedkar (1891–1956) was one of the most prominent Indian leaders, a social reformer and the father of the Indian Constitution .
