Phule Wada has long served as a powerful center for social movements and progressive thought, stated Prof. Dr. Vilas Adhav, Director, Department of Lifelong Learning and Extension, Savitribai Phule Pune University, while addressing a gathering at Phule Wada, Pune. He highlighted that social reformers Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule courageously challenged the oppressive caste system and laid the foundation for social equality by opening the doors of education to women and the oppressed sections of society through the establishment of the first school for women and the so-called untouchables in Pune.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Prof. Dr. Adhav further noted that the legacy of the Phules\u2019 struggle for social justice was strengthened and carried forward by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, who ensured equal rights and social justice for all citizens through constitutional provisions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
