Namantar Andolan

In 1978, the Maharashtra Chief Minister, the state legislature and University administration approved renaming the university after B. R. Ambedkar. [2] This decision was strongly opposed by other communities [3] resulting in the anti-Dalit pogrom. [4] The Namantar Andolan was the renaming movement organised by Dalits for 16 years. On 14 January 1994 the university was officially renamed as "Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University's". [5]
