President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind made a brief visit to Mhow on 14th April 2018 to pay tribute to Dr B R Ambedkar at his birthplace in Mhow. He visited the Ambedkar Birth Memorial in the Kali Paltan area of Infantry School Mhow. After that he addressed a public gathering on the grounds of Bungalow 88 which was followed by a lunch in the Swarg Mandir premises. He flew to Mhow from Indore and returned to Indore by an IAF helicopter.



According to the Economic Times of 16 April 2018 President Kovind while addressing the gathering said: “Dr Ambedkar emphasised the values of non-violence and compassion in public life. He fought for the welfare of weaker sections of society but his path remained non-violent — stressing on consensus through dialogue. He believed that this was our country, for all of us, and that whatever needed to be done to bring justice to the weaker sections of society could be achieved by adhering to social harmony. In his final speech in the Constituent Assembly, Dr Ambedkar said now that we have constitutional methods of expressing opposition, we should avoid disruptive mechanisms,”
