Abstract :
This research article explores the profound relevance of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's visionary thoughts in the context of open distance education, particularly in the pursuit of reaching the unreached. Dr. Ambedkar, a key architect of the Indian Constitution and a social reformer, emphasized the transformative power of education as a means to eradicate social disparities. In the evolving landscape of education, open distance learning emerges as a promising avenue to extend the benefits of education to those who are often marginalized due to geographical, economic, or social constraints. This article delves into how Ambedkar's principles align with the ethos of open distance education, promoting inclusivity, empowerment, and social justice.
