The exhibition features a valuable collection sourced from Dilip Wankhede, Smruti Nagarjun Museum and Ashwini Doke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The display vividly captures the transformative journey of Mahatma Phule, showcasing glimpses of his residence, his wedding with Savitribai Phule, and the pioneering efforts in girls\u2019 education. Rare visuals reflecting the socio-cultural landscape of that era and handwritten scripts further underline his intellectual depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally compelling are photographs depicting key moments from Dr. Ambedkar\u2019s life, including social movements, constitutional work, political milestones and personal memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a visual archive, the exhibition serves as a powerful message of equality, education and justice. PCMC has urged citizens, especially the youth, to visit and draw inspiration from the lives of these iconic reformers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pimpri :&nbsp;Marking the bicentenary birth year of Krantisurya Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and the 135th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1816,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[53,33],"tags":[56],"class_list":["post-1815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-pcmc"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-300x163.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-768x417.jpg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-1024x556.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-1536x833.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-392x272.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-390x205.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-130x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-800x445.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-150x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-1400x600.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pimpri :&nbsp;Marking the bicentenary birth year of Krantisurya Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and the 135th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr.","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["City","Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":4,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":1,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos.jpg",1600,868,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-300x163.jpg",300,163,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photos-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-53\">City<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
