Inaugurating a seminar on Dr BR Ambedkar organised by Lok Hita Trust and Samarasya Vedike here on Sunday, Deshpande said that though Ambedkar’s life was filled with challenges, he was the epicentre of political, religious, social, and scientific temper and philosophical thoughts. “Even Madhav Rao Golwalkar and Vinayak Savarkar said Ambedkar’s persona was a role model for the whole world. RSS functions in Ambedkar’s line of thought," he added. MLC Dr Sabanna Talwar, RSS leaders Shivalinga Kumbar, Sridhar Nadagir and others were present.Free summer camp for childrenHubballi: Sunidhi Kala Sourabha will be organising a free summer camp called ‘Spoorti’ for children from April 5 to 15 at Guruprabha's Ananta Prerna Kendra, adjacent to Kempannavar Kalyana Mandap, Vijayanagara, Hubballi.
