tenth release function of the year saw the release of a coin commemorating
125th Birth Anniversary of Dt BR Ambedkar. This is the second coin to

Technically the 125th Birth Anniversary should have been in the year

In his early career he was an economist,professor, and lawyer. His later life was marked by his political activities; he became involved in campaigning and negotiations for India's independence, publishing journals advocating political rights and social freedom for Dalits, and contributing significantly to the establishment of the state of India. In 1956 he converted to Buddhism, initiating mass conversions of Dalits.
In 1990, the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, was posthumously conferred upon Ambedkar.
