Udaipur – The Dehat District Congress Committee of Udaipur organized a seminar at the Dehat District Congress office in Surajpol, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Indian Constitution. According to Dr. Sanjeev Rajpurohit, spokesperson for the Dehat District Congress, it was on November 26, 2024, that the Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian Constitution, marking 75 years of its historic enactment. In line with the directions of the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee, the Udaipur Dehat District Congress Committee held a discussion on "Constitution Day" at the Surajpol office.

The speaker at the event, Professor Dariyav Singh Chundawat, a member of the Pradesh Congress, emphasized that the Constitution is a sacred document for the nation. For Mewar, it is even more significant, as one of Mewar’s sons, Professor Balwant Mehta, was a member of the Constituent Assembly. He further highlighted that Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, along with the Congress Party, played a crucial role in shaping the Constitution, ensuring that it would be a symbol of justice, equality, and fraternity.

He stressed the need to safeguard the democratic values set forth by the Constitution, which has fortified democracy and granted equality to all citizens.

He emphasized that the success and progress of any country depend greatly on the framework of its Constitution, and India has made remarkable progress since adopting its Constitution.

He attributed this success to the country’s Constitution.
