Jamshedpur, April 11: A life-size portrait of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar was unveiled in a dignified ceremony at the Bar Bhawan located within the District Civil Court premises.
The initiative, led by members of the legal fraternity, served both as a tribute to the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and as a call for greater recognition of India’s founding leaders across court institutions.
The portrait, placed in the ground floor hall of the Bar Bhawan, was inaugurated in the presence of senior advocates, Bar Association officials, and members of the Jharkhand State Bar Council.
Call for Statues of Constituent Assembly Leaders Across Courts
The event also marked the passing of a resolution recommending the installation of life-size statues of key figures from the Constituent Assembly—such as Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha, and Dr. Ambedkar himself—in courts across the nation.
The aim is to inspire present and future generations by highlighting the foundational contributions made by these visionaries in India’s freedom struggle and constitutional development.

Lawyers attending the ceremony highlighted the essential role played by Scheduled Castes and Tribes in promoting justice, equality, and women’s dignity in Indian society, recognizing Dr. Ambedkar’s enduring legacy in these areas.
