&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The massive Dalit conglomeration at Shivaji Park for the 55th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar mirrored the pragmatic approach to life with the GenerationNext stressing on economic empowerment.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I am no longer a prisoner of communal and secular politics. What is weighing on my mind is economic empowerment. Even our peers are less nagging and allow us political independence,&amp;rdquo; said 18-year-old Kishore Gaikwad.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Gaikwad and 20 others from Nashik made the annual pilgrimage to Chaityabhoomi for Mahaparinirvan Din.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The faction-ridden Dalit organisations no longer provide the same emotive attraction to the youngsters whose aspire for self reliance.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There is no denying that self reliance among Dalits will come through economic empowerment. How long are we going to be at the mercy of the government and private sectors to provide us opportunities through reservations? If individuals transform into small entrepreneurs, Dalits will soon become job givers and not job seekers,&amp;rdquo; said Milind Kamble, chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In Maharashtra, 400 members are registered with the DICCI and their annual turnover is around Rs5,000 crore. There are 2,000 others who will be made members.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There are 30 crore Dalits in India and 15 crore are empowered to make a few purchases from the market, pointed out Kamble. This means, individual Dalit entrepreneurs already have a ready market to exploit.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Until a few years ago, there would be a few vendors selling books and pamphlets on Ambedkar near Chaityabhoomi. On Tuesday, there were stalls selling a variety of products &amp;mdash; clothes, furniture, kitchenware and Ambedkar statues.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There has been a drastic change in the last 15 years. Earlier, a majority of the stalls were related to health check-ups. Now, individual Dalits have set up stalls and generate awareness about social and economic issues,&amp;rdquo; said Dr Tusshar Jagtap, a Dalit activist.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;December 6 is no longer politically dominated... To some extent it has become a people&amp;rsquo;s movement who are looking for the right answers and confronting the new socio-economic challenges in society.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;

The massive Dalit conglomeration at Shivaji Park for the 55th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar mirrored the pragmatic approach to life with the GenerationNext stressing on economic empowerment.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I am no longer a prisoner of communal and secular politics. What is weighing on my mind is economic empowerment. Even our peers are less nagging and allow us political independence,&amp;rdquo; said 18-year-old Kishore Gaikwad.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Gaikwad and 20 others from Nashik made the annual pilgrimage to Chaityabhoomi for Mahaparinirvan Din.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The faction-ridden Dalit organisations no longer provide the same emotive attraction to the youngsters whose aspire for self reliance.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There is no denying that self reliance among Dalits will come through economic empowerment. How long are we going to be at the mercy of the government and private sectors to provide us opportunities through reservations? If individuals transform into small entrepreneurs, Dalits will soon become job givers and not job seekers,&amp;rdquo; said Milind Kamble, chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In Maharashtra, 400 members are registered with the DICCI and their annual turnover is around Rs5,000 crore. There are 2,000 others who will be made members.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There are 30 crore Dalits in India and 15 crore are empowered to make a few purchases from the market, pointed out Kamble. This means, individual Dalit entrepreneurs already have a ready market to exploit.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Until a few years ago, there would be a few vendors selling books and pamphlets on Ambedkar near Chaityabhoomi. On Tuesday, there were stalls selling a variety of products &amp;mdash; clothes, furniture, kitchenware and Ambedkar statues.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There has been a drastic change in the last 15 years. Earlier, a majority of the stalls were related to health check-ups. Now, individual Dalits have set up stalls and generate awareness about social and economic issues,&amp;rdquo; said Dr Tusshar Jagtap, a Dalit activist.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;December 6 is no longer politically dominated... To some extent it has become a people&amp;rsquo;s movement who are looking for the right answers and confronting the new socio-economic challenges in society.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The massive Dalit conglomeration at Shivaji Park for the 55th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar mirrored the pragmatic approach to life with the GenerationNext stressing on economic empowerment.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I am no longer a prisoner of communal and secular politics. What is weighing on my mind is economic empowerment. Even our peers are less nagging and allow us political independence,&amp;rdquo; said 18-year-old Kishore Gaikwad.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Gaikwad and 20 others from Nashik made the annual pilgrimage to Chaityabhoomi for Mahaparinirvan Din.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The faction-ridden Dalit organisations no longer provide the same emotive attraction to the youngsters whose aspire for self reliance.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There is no denying that self reliance among Dalits will come through economic empowerment. How long are we going to be at the mercy of the government and private sectors to provide us opportunities through reservations? If individuals transform into small entrepreneurs, Dalits will soon become job givers and not job seekers,&amp;rdquo; said Milind Kamble, chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In Maharashtra, 400 members are registered with the DICCI and their annual turnover is around Rs5,000 crore. There are 2,000 others who will be made members.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There are 30 crore Dalits in India and 15 crore are empowered to make a few purchases from the market, pointed out Kamble. This means, individual Dalit entrepreneurs already have a ready market to exploit.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Until a few years ago, there would be a few vendors selling books and pamphlets on Ambedkar near Chaityabhoomi. On Tuesday, there were stalls selling a variety of products &amp;mdash; clothes, furniture, kitchenware and Ambedkar statues.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There has been a drastic change in the last 15 years. Earlier, a majority of the stalls were related to health check-ups. Now, individual Dalits have set up stalls and generate awareness about social and economic issues,&amp;rdquo; said Dr Tusshar Jagtap, a Dalit activist.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;December 6 is no longer politically dominated... To some extent it has become a people&amp;rsquo;s movement who are looking for the right answers and confronting the new socio-economic challenges in society.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The massive Dalit conglomeration at Shivaji Park for the 55th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar mirrored the pragmatic approach to life with the GenerationNext stressing on economic empowerment.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I am no longer a prisoner of communal and secular politics. What is weighing on my mind is economic empowerment. Even our peers are less nagging and allow us political independence,&amp;rdquo; said 18-year-old Kishore Gaikwad.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Gaikwad and 20 others from Nashik made the annual pilgrimage to Chaityabhoomi for Mahaparinirvan Din.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The faction-ridden Dalit organisations no longer provide the same emotive attraction to the youngsters whose aspire for self reliance.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There is no denying that self reliance among Dalits will come through economic empowerment. How long are we going to be at the mercy of the government and private sectors to provide us opportunities through reservations? If individuals transform into small entrepreneurs, Dalits will soon become job givers and not job seekers,&amp;rdquo; said Milind Kamble, chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In Maharashtra, 400 members are registered with the DICCI and their annual turnover is around Rs5,000 crore. There are 2,000 others who will be made members.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There are 30 crore Dalits in India and 15 crore are empowered to make a few purchases from the market, pointed out Kamble. This means, individual Dalit entrepreneurs already have a ready market to exploit.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Until a few years ago, there would be a few vendors selling books and pamphlets on Ambedkar near Chaityabhoomi. On Tuesday, there were stalls selling a variety of products &amp;mdash; clothes, furniture, kitchenware and Ambedkar statues.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;There has been a drastic change in the last 15 years. Earlier, a majority of the stalls were related to health check-ups. Now, individual Dalits have set up stalls and generate awareness about social and economic issues,&amp;rdquo; said Dr Tusshar Jagtap, a Dalit activist.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;December 6 is no longer politically dominated... To some extent it has become a people&amp;rsquo;s movement who are looking for the right answers and confronting the new socio-economic challenges in society.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;

GenNext Dalits want economic empowerment by Shubhangi Khapre

The massive Dalit conglomeration at Shivaji Park for the 55th death anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar mirrored the pragmatic approach to life with the GenerationNext stressing on economic empowerment. “I am no longer a prisoner of communal and secular politics. What is weighing on my mind is economic empowerment. Even our peers are less nagging and allow us political independence,” said 18-year-old Kishore Gaikwad. Gaikwad and 20 others from Nashik made the annual pilgrimage to Chaityabhoomi for Mahaparinirvan Din. The faction-ridden Dalit organisations no longer provide the same emotive attraction to the youngsters whose aspire for self reliance. “There is no denying that self reliance among Dalits will come through economic empowerment. How long are we going to be at the mercy of the government and private sectors to provide us opportunities through reservations? If individuals transform into small entrepreneurs, Dalits will soon become job givers and not job seekers,” said Milind Kamble, chairman, Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (DICCI). “In Maharashtra, 400 members are registered with the DICCI and their annual turnover is around Rs5,000 crore. There are 2,000 others who will be made members.” There are 30 crore Dalits in India and 15 crore are empowered to make a few purchases from the market, pointed out Kamble. This means, individual Dalit entrepreneurs already have a ready market to exploit. Until a few years ago, there would be a few vendors selling books and pamphlets on Ambedkar near Chaityabhoomi. On Tuesday, there were stalls selling a variety of products — clothes, furniture, kitchenware and Ambedkar statues. “There has been a drastic change in the last 15 years. Earlier, a majority of the stalls were related to health check-ups. Now, individual Dalits have set up stalls and generate awareness about social and economic issues,” said Dr Tusshar Jagtap, a Dalit activist. “December 6 is no longer politically dominated... To some extent it has become a people’s movement who are looking for the right answers and confronting the new socio-economic challenges in society.”
