Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, “Education and Social Change: Nalanda’s Work in Practice”

Our guest is Anoop Kumar, Director of the Nalanda Academy in Wardha, India. The Academy provides free support to young people from rural and marginalized communities—many of whom are the first in their families to have access to higher education—as they pursue admission to leading universities in India and abroad. This work is grounded in the ideas of B. R. Ambedkar: a lawyer, social reformer, key architect of the Indian Constitution, and one of the most important critics of the caste system. For Nalanda, therefore, education is not charity, but a matter of dignity, self-respect, and social change.
