What is Constitution Day?

Constitution Day (National Law Day), also known as Samvidhan Divas, is celebrated in India on 26 November every year to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. On 26 November 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution of India, and it came into effect on 26 January 1950.

Government of India has declared 26th of November as ‘Constitution Day’ on 19th November 2015 by a gazette Notification. This Day was chosen to spread the importance of the constitution, spread the thoughts & ideas of the founding father of the Constitution- Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.

About the Competition

Freedom of speech is our fundamental right under the constitution and hence we have the liberty to express our opinions freely. By its very nature, the democratic process spurs citizens to form opinions on a number of issues. Diversity of opinions, thoughts and expressions among the citizens is vital for a healthy democracy.

With the same motive in mind, School of Business and Law has organized an online Opinion Writing Competition for all the undergraduate law students on the occasion of Constitution Day. Our aim is to generate a thought process which in turn will create a reasoned opinion on the topic.
