Talking to PTI on the occasion of Dr Ambedkar's birth anniversary on Thursday, the university's Knowledge Resource Centre director Dharmaraj Veer said they got the idea in 2019 of bringing literature on the Constitution's architect on one platform- the university's website.

Veer along with information scientist Dr Gajanan Khiste at the university extensively searched online platforms for literature available on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar as well as the latter's own writings.

The university's website also contains various dramas and films made on Ambedkar in Marathi, Hindi, English,Tamil and Kannada languages, he said, adding that they managed to bring all this together despite facing shortage of technical staff. The literature uploaded on the university's website is accessible to all, he said, adding that the project did not cost them a single rupee.
