Additionally, a booklet on the art of the Indian Constitution and versions of the Constitution translated into Sanskrit and Maithili will be launched. A short film tracing the Constitution’s making, historical importance, and evolution will be screened for attendees.
The event holds special significance as it marks the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949. The Constitution came into effect on January 26, 1950.
In anticipation of the celebrations, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla emphasised the importance of the day in honoring the contributions of B.R. Ambedkar and the other framers of the Constitution.
“Constitution Day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Babasaheb Ambedkar and his dedication to building the foundation of Indian democracy,” Birla said.
President Murmu will lead the recitation of the Preamble, an initiative aimed at inspiring gratitude and reinforcing the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
Expressing his hopes for the day, Birla said, “I hope this Constitution Day evolves into a mass movement, allowing every citizen to express their appreciation for the Constitution and its architects. By embracing the Constitution’s duties and responsibilities, we can work towards realising the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’.”
