Nagpur : Work for the construction of the country’s first Samvidhan Preamble Park has begun in the premises of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar College of Law, conducted by Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU). According to sources, bhoomipujan for some of the works will be performed in June. For the Rs 10 crore project, Rs 2.50 crore have already been released by Maharashtra Government. Part of the amount for the project will be raised through public participation.
The idea was conceptualised by Deputy Registrar (Academic) Dr Anil Hirekhan, who followed it up with Social Justice Minister Rajkumar Badole and Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule to get the administrative hurdles cleared. According to Dr Hirekhan, Nagpur has Samvidhan Chowk, Deekshabhoomi. Now, it will have Samvidhan Park too. Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism in the city. Nagpur was the ideal place for country’s first Samvidhan Park. Dr Ambedkar himself was a Barrister so it was very relevant to build the Park in the premises of the Law college. The present gate of the college has been re-constructed with two beautifully decorated pillars on each side. The board will have name of the college as well as Samvidhan Preamble Park along and a photograph of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar.
The path from the Amravati road inside the college would go straight to the park at the extreme corner of which will stand 7.5 feet tall statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The park will have beautiful lawn and sitting arrangement for the public. There will be seven digital boards placed in circle around the lawn. The seven values including Justice, Equality, Liberty, Fraternity etc will be written on the boards. If one touches the board, a detail description of the values will appear on that board.
The park will have a special light effect that would make it look beautiful during night. The walls will be made made of special material which will ensure durability and cleanliness (washable). The 7.5 feet tall statue of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar will be the main attraction at the park. It will replace the existing bust of Dr Ambedkar. Dr Girish Gandhi, former MLC Prof Jogendra Kawade, MLC Prof Anil Sole, Prakash Gajbhiye, former MP Ajay Sancheti, MP (Rajya Sabha) Dr Vikas Mahatme, Justice Kishor Rohee, RTMNU V-C Dr S P Kane, RTMNU Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dr Pramod Yeole and others have been included in the committee that would monitor the project.
