SAMVIDHAN DIVAS 2022

-


Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked November 26 as the Constitution Day of India in 2015. Constitution Day is also known as Samvidhan Divas or National Law Day. The Constituent Assembly of India formally adopted the Constitution of India on November 26, 1949. It came into force on January 26, 1950. Constitution Day aims to bring awareness about the importance of the Constitution and about Dr B R Ambedkar. He was the chairman of the drafting committee and is considered to be the chief architect of the Constitution of India. He is also called the Father of the Indian Constitution.

The social science association of GCTE commemorated the adoption of the constitution on Monday, November 28, 2022 in the Research Room. Students, teachers and teacher trainees of Mar Theophilos College attended the function. It started with a prayer by Maria followed by an introduction done by Ms. Ancila. She recalled the historical evets which led to the formation of our constitution.  The Constitution of India replaced the Government of India Act, 1935. The Constitution drew its sources from a number of other constitutions and it is said that B R Ambedkar studied the Constitutions of over 60 countries before drafting the Constitution of India. It took almost three years to write our constitution. Then the patriotic song Vandae Maataram was sung to show the respect and love towards the nation. Ms. Sandya read out the preamble and explained its importance to the listeners. Preamble is a brief statement which records the aims and aspirations of the people of India. The preamble to the Constitution of India reads:
 
“We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic, and to secure to all its citizens: Justice, social, economic and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; equality of status and of opportunity, and to promote among them all — fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation; In our Constituent Assembly this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do hereby adopt, enact and give to ourselves this constitution.”

This was followed by an elaborate explanation on the Fundamental rights which are mentioned in the Part 3 of the Indian Constitution. Right to Equality which are detailed from Article 14 to 18 was explained by Remya. Article 19 to 22 dealing with Right to Freedom was dealt by Aarsha. Sudheera made us aware about the Right against Exploitation guaranteed in Article 23 and article 24. Right to Freedom of Religion expressed from Article 25 to article 28 was said by Sandya and Cultural and Educational Rights in Articles 29 and 30 was dealt by Sini. Finally the Right to Constitutional Remedies, which Ambedkar valued the most and said in Article 32 was elaborated by Mariya. 

Following this Mary read out the 11 Fundamental Duties detailed in the Part IV-A which we Indians ought to obey. The Directive Principles of State policy was familiarised by Ancila. After this oath was taken by everyone to abide by the constitution and to follow democratic values.
