Speech on Constitution Day of India 1

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Beloved Teachers and My Dear Students- Warm Greetings Everyone!

I Shakti Sinha, being the class teacher of Humanities section has been given an opportunity to speak on Constitution Day which I feel, is a privilege talking about. Constitution Day is celebrated every year on 26 November and it is the day when our constitution was adopted in the year 1949 by the Constituent Assembly. The constitution formally came into implementation in the year 1950 on 26^th January.

Constitution Day is also referred to as Samvidhan Divas in literal terms in India. The day is commemorated to celebrate and honor Dr. Bhim Rao (B.R.) Ambedkar who was the father of our constitution. He drafted the constitution with systematic research and analysis and that is the reason why our constitution is considered to be the supreme document of India. It had a vision of future and an inert message of peace and tranquility.

The constitution of India teaches a special lesson. You all might be wondering what is the lesson that is associated with the constitution, as it is just a legal document that every individual being citizen of India needs to obey. The message that is embedded in the making of the constitution is patience and unanimity. The constituent assembly drafted every policy keeping in mind every community of our nation. They reached at decisions unanimously and with equal consensus. Each article mentioned in the constitution was drafted in consideration with the evolution of society. You, as students should learn this trait of our constitution makers which will help you all in your future endeavors.

Constitution Day helps to ignite the lamp of knowledge in the minds of new generation, which includes students like you who can understand the importance of Indian constitution, respect it and follow it religiously. It makes us stay connected in the current era when people are forgetting the importance of democracy. Celebrating Constitution Day is a way by which we all can pay tribute to the father of the Indian Constitution and spread his philosophies and thoughts.

 

India was initially governed by the regulation of princely states and there was a need to have a document which laid the framework for our country’s political code, rules, procedures etc. There was also a necessity of a document which describes the fundamental rights and duties of the citizens residing in our country so that we could flourish and add up to the overall development of the country to reach new heights.

Therefore, I would want you all to at least read our constitution once in a lifetime as it is well augmented from every dimension and gives a reflection of the Indian Nation. The constitution is considered to be comprehensive as it accommodates our needs and priorities and we all should respect it in every possible manner. An important facet that the makers included in the constitution is that every individual is equal before law and that there is absolutely no kind of discrimination based on caste, creed, religion or languages.

Thank You!

Speech on Constitution Day of India 2

Hon’ble Vice Principal, Beloved Teachers and My Dear Students- I Thank you all for giving me this wonderful opportunity to deliver a speech on a very important topic which is Constitution Day.

Being the Principal of this school, I take immense pleasure to sensitize you all on this significant topic. Indian constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949, which is considered as an important landmark in the country’s journey of being independent, sovereign republic. The constitution came into force on 26 January 1950.

The constituent assembly with members from across communities reflects the diversity of our country. It took approximately two years for constitution makers to develop a comprehensive constitution which would reflect the development of our country. The Indian constitution stood test of the time as India has been a successful democracy unlike many other countries that became independent at the same time, but are struggling for a democratic setup.

 

The Constitution of India is more than a set of articles and schedules. It does more than merely establish and empower the institutions of governance for India. Instead, several political scientists and scholars refer to the constitution as a “Transformative Constitution”, which basically means that it is embedded with vision and reflection of future. Till date, it is not required to change an article altogether; rather, law only makes amendments in the articles and this aspect proves that our constitution was drafted with proper analysis and examination. The entire credit for drafting goes to a commendable leader Dr. B.R Ambedkar who is also regarded as the father of the India Constitution. Its provisions are not just concerned with India as it is, but with the fulfillment of social and economic justice for all of India’s citizens.

I should tell you all an amazing fact about our constitution which is that – you all know that India faced extraordinary challenges at the time of Independence, including safeguarding the lives and well-being of millions of people displaced by Partition. Amongst violence and uncertainty, the Constituent Assembly convened to draft a Constitution which was appropriate to a nation with exceptional diversity, divided by language, race, caste and class. While facing this challenge, members of the Constituent Assembly drew encouragement and inspiration from experiences of several other nations.

There is an important lesson to be learnt from our constitution makers which is taking decisions with lot of patience among people from diverse communities. It was difficult to reach at a unanimous decision which would support every community of our nation. They accomplished the task well and this aspect was also emphasized by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, this very year i.e. 2018 in his “Mann Ki Baat” motivational speech.

Therefore, I feel glad to be here today to speak on our Constitution as it is unique due to its openness to differences and diversities, in its acceptance and employment of intellectual traditions and lessons from around the world, in its commitment to social welfare and uplift. I hope we all respect our constitution religiously which is very important in today’s times.

Thank You!
