SHILLONG, NOV 14: Standing at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar House on King Henry Road, a Meghalaya delegation paused to reflect on the man who shaped India’s Constitution and its promise of equality.
The visit on November 11 was part of the ongoing State Legislators’ Executive Leadership Programme in London and Cambridge, led by Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Speaker Thomas A. Sangma.
He was joined by MLA and former Speaker Abu T. Mondal, Deputy Chief Whip Ronnie V. Lyngdoh, MLA Mizannur Rahman Kazi, and Stephen Anurag Prathipati, NISG Project Officer and Co-Lead, Meghalaya Legislative Research Forum (MLRF).
For the delegation, Ambedkar House was more than a historic address. It was a reminder of Ambedkar’s lifelong fight for social justice, human dignity and constitutional democracy, and of his belief that education could transform lives and societies.
The legislators said the visit offered lessons for today, on inclusive governance, principled leadership, and the responsibility of strengthening democratic institutions through public service.
The programme aims to expose Meghalaya’s legislators to global perspectives on leadership, while grounding them in the constitutional values Ambedkar championed.
