"26, Alipur Road residence where Dr Ambedkar breathed his last would be converted into his memorial. It would house the memorabilia of Dr Ambedkar and a photo gallery covering all important aspects of his life and work," a Ministry official said.
A high level committee constituted by the Ministry and headed by Planning Commission member Dr Narendra Jadhav presented its report to Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Mukul Wasnik yesterday recommending construction of a memorial of the Dalit icon, the official said.
The committee also recommended that a structure inspired by Buddhist architecture should house the memorial of Ambedkar who embraced Buddhism later in his life.
