Our Constitution guards the rights and dignity of every citizen which has been ensured owing to the farsightedness of its architects. The day is celebrated to value and preserve the rich heritage of composite culture for developing the scientific temper, humanism to promote harmony, reforms with the right spirit of common brotherhood amongst all countrymen. It is also a mark of tribute to Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar, the first Law Minister of India, who played a pivotal role in the framing of the Indian Constitution.
