On 26th November 2024, Sarhad Law School observed Constitution Day — a day of immense pride and reflection for every Indian, especially those committed to the study and practice of law. The event was a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Constitution and the visionary minds who laid its foundation, particularly Dr. Bhimrao. Ramji. Ambedkar, the Chief Architect of our Constitution.
The event began promptly at 12:00 p.m. and was gracefully anchored by Asst. Prof. Kaushal Bagul, who set the tone for the gathering by welcoming everyone and briefly introducing the importance of Constitution Day, also known as “Samvidhan Divas”. The day is observed every year on 26th November to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India in the year 1949.
Principal S. R. Khaladkar Madam Address: A Tribute to Democratic Values
The program was inaugurated with an inspiring and informative address by our Principal Madam, who beautifully explained what the Constitution truly means not just as a legal document, but as the soul of our nation. She spoke about its core values: Sovereignty, Socialism, Secularism, Democracy, and Republic, all of which are deeply embedded in the Preamble.
She emphasized that the Constitution is not merely a set of rules, but a vision for India, a country where Justice, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity are not just words, but lived values. Her words resonated with everyone present, especially the law students, who are the future torchbearers of these ideals.
Insights Assistant Professor Sampada Kulkarni Madam:
The Heart of Constitutional Rights
Following this, Kulkarni Madam addressed the gathering and highlighted the key features of the Indian Constitution, such as its Federal structure, Parliamentary system, Independence of the Judiciary, and Fundamental Rights guaranteed to all citizens.
She explained how these features make our Constitution one of the most comprehensive and inclusive documents in the world. She urged students to understand their rights, but more importantly, their Duties as citizens and future legal professionals. Her passionate appeal reminded everyone that Law is not just a profession—it’s a responsibility.
Ajit Pawar’s Perspective: A Student’s Voice
Adding a youthful perspective, Ajit Pawar, a student from the second year of law, gave a short but impactful speech. He clarified a significant historical detail: while India celebrates Republic Day on 26th January, it was actually on 26th November 1949 that the Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly. This shows the long and thoughtful process involved in shaping our democratic framework.
Ajit’s speech reflected the importance of understanding history, especially for law students, as it helps them appreciate the sacrifices, vision, and dedication behind the laws they study today.
Remembering Dr. B.R. Ambedkar: The Architect of Modern India
No celebration of Constitution Day is complete without paying homage to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. Throughout the event, several speakers mentioned his extraordinary dedication, intellectual brilliance, and unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar believed that a just society must be based on equal opportunity, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that the Constitution would uplift the marginalized and empower every individual, regardless of caste, creed, gender, or economic background. For law students, Ambedkar is not just a historical figure—he is a guiding light, a symbol of what legal education should strive to accomplish: Empowerment, Justice, and Transformation.
As the program drew to a close, Assistant Professor Kaushal Bagul, the anchor of the event, thanked all the dignitaries, faculty members, and students for their active participation. With warmth and grace, he reminded everyone of the deeper meaning of the day—not just to remember the Constitution, but to live by it.
He expressed gratitude to the organizers and participants for making the event meaningful and memorable. His closing remarks left the audience with a sense of pride and responsibility.
