- Every year on 26 November, India celebrates Constitution Day or Samvidhan Diwas to mark the day when the Constitution of India was adopted in 1949. The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950; the day India celebrates as Republic Day. For seventy-five years, it has upheld the principles of justice, liberty, equality, fraternity, protecting citizens’ rights and guiding India’s democratic journey.
In order to commemorate the 75th year of India as a republic and the adoption of India’s constitution, the Department of Justice implemented a pan-India, year-long nationwide campaign titled ‘Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman’ (Our Constitution, Our Honour) for simplifying the constitutions for the general public.
Launched by the Vice-President on January 24, 2024, at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi, the campaign transcended ceremony to become a nationwide civic mobilisation. Integrated into the government’s DISHA Scheme, it combines constitutional literacy with actionable legal aid. Citizens could take the Panch Pran pledge, join legal literacy workshops, and access Tele-Law and Nyaya Bandhu services for real-time legal assistance, turning constitutional ideals into lived rights.
Following the year-long campaign aimed at creating awareness about constitutional ideals the “Hamara Samvidhan – Hamara Samman,” transitioned into its next chapter: “Hamara Samvidhan – Hamara Swabhiman” (Our Constitution – Our Pride) on January 24, 2025. This evolved campaign continues to build on the momentum generated throughout 2024-2025, deepening public engagement with constitutional values and legal literacy.
“Swabhiman” aims to instill pride and deeper constitutional consciousness among citizens. This progression marks a sustained governmental commitment to bring about legal literacy, and to empower citizens not only to know their rights, but to take pride in them.
