Celebrating India’s Constitution: A Nationwide Campaign
The Department of Justice in India has launched a significant campaign called ‘Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman’ to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India as a Republic and the adoption of its Constitution. This year-long initiative began on January 24, 2024, with a formal launch by the Hon’ble Vice-President of India. The campaign aims to reinforce the collective commitment of citizens to the principles outlined in the Constitution. It also seeks to celebrate the shared values that unite the nation. To ensure widespread outreach, three regional events have been scheduled in Bikaner, Prayagraj, and Guwahati throughout the year.
Objectives of the Campaign
The primary goal of the ‘Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman’ campaign is to enhance public awareness about the Constitution and the legal rights of citizens. By reaffirming the importance of constitutional values, the campaign aims to foster a deeper understanding of the rights and responsibilities that come with being a citizen of India. The initiative encourages citizens to engage with the Constitution actively, promoting a sense of ownership and pride in the democratic framework of the country.
In addition to raising awareness, the campaign also focuses on creating a knowledge repository through the ‘Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman Portal.’ Launched during the second regional event in Prayagraj, this portal serves as a valuable resource for citizens seeking information about their legal rights. The portal aims to be a comprehensive guide, offering insights into various aspects of the Constitution and legal frameworks in India.
Engaging the Public Through Competitions
To further engage the public, the campaign has introduced online competitions in collaboration with MyGov. These competitions are designed to inspire citizens to explore and understand their constitutional rights and duties. By participating in these activities, individuals can deepen their knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution. The campaign has already seen significant participation, with over 662,589 visits to the Hamara Samvidhan Hamara Samman Portal.
The competitions not only serve as a means of education but also as a platform for citizens to express their thoughts and ideas regarding the Constitution. This interactive approach encourages a dialogue about constitutional values and their relevance in contemporary society. The campaign aims to create a vibrant community of informed citizens who are aware of their rights and responsibilities.
Continuous Improvement and Outreach Initiatives
To ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information provided on the portal, a dedicated team of legal experts from law schools and officials from the Department of Justice regularly review and update the content. This commitment to maintaining high-quality information is crucial for keeping citizens informed about their rights and the legal framework governing them.
In addition to the online portal, the campaign also conducts awareness programs, including workshops and webinars, at the regional level. These initiatives are organized in collaboration with educational institutions and community organizations. The outreach efforts extend to digital platforms, where social media campaigns promote the portal and encourage citizen participation. Feedback collected from participants during these programs is invaluable for improving future initiatives, and ensuring that the campaign remains responsive to the needs of the public.
