Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar inaugurated the 120th Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar Jayanti celebrations at SK Memorial Hall in Patna on April 21, 2011. Addressing the function Kumar claimed that the Centre had acknowledged the use of term “Mahadalits” for the extremely backward classes, whose social uplift his government was committed to.“I am happy that the term Mahadalit is now being used and has been accepted by the National Advisory Council (NAC) led by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. NAC has identified the word. States should also accept it for the uplift of Mahadalits," he said.
