Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Conference Center to be inaugurated on April 14

Construction on the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Conference Center on Kamptee Road is nearly finished. The project will presumably be launched on April 14.

Social welfare officials inspected and reviewed the work before the grand opening on Wednesday, and they gave Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) until March 15 to finish all required work.

On NIT’s 7,500 square metre property, a convention centre of world standards is being built. For this undertaking, 131.68 crores in funding have been authorised, of which 113.74 crores have already been spent. There have been administrative clearance for the 14.94 crore increase in spending. Soon, NIT will receive this money.

The main attraction of this center is a 40 feet tall statue of Dr. Ambedkar. This statue is made of bronze and can be seen directly from the highway outside. Initially, this statue was going to cost 2 crores but after Covid, its price in- creased. Now the cost is 5 crores. The additional cost of 3 crores will be approved soon.
