New Delhi, 28th Aug: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday paid rich tributes to Mahatma Ayyankali on his Jayanti, calling him an enduring icon of social justice and empowerment. The Prime Minister highlighted Ayyankali’s deep commitment to education, equality, and upliftment of marginalized communities, noting that his ideals remain relevant in India’s pursuit of an inclusive society.

Mahatma Ayyankali (1863–1941), revered as a pioneer of social reform in Kerala, spearheaded movements for the rights of Dalits, access to education, and equality in public spaces. His tireless struggle against social discrimination transformed the socio-political landscape of Kerala and left an indelible mark on India’s freedom and social justice movements.
