The government of Karnataka announced the Vinaya Samarasya Yojana.
It is a public awareness campaign against caste prejudice in the state’s gramme panchayats.
It will be formally launched on April 14, the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
The initiative was named after Vinay, a three-year-old Dalit kid who strayed into a temple in Miyapur hamlet in Karnataka’s Koppal district to seek shelter from the rain in September 2021.
