During the event, President Murmu took the opportunity to release several important works that further highlight the significance of the Indian Constitution. Among these was the first Sanskrit copy of the Constitution, reflecting the document’s deep cultural roots in the country’s diverse linguistic traditions.

Ambedkar, whose leadership and vision shaped the nation’s legal and democratic framework.
Shah also shared his belief that the Constitution is not just a symbolic document but a living entity that guides the actions of citizens and leaders alike. “We believe that the Constitution is not just a book to be displayed on stage, but it is the key to making the highest contribution to public life by internalizing it with full devotion,” Shah remarked. He called for a collective pledge on Constitution Day to work toward a stronger, more prosperous, and self-reliant India.
