Constitution Day, also known as Samvidhan Divas, is celebrated every year on 26th November to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India and to honour and pay tribute to the invaluable contribution of Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and other founding fathers of the Constitution.
Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India, this year on 26th November, 2019 , the Government of India proposes to launch a campaign focusing on creating awareness on the Fundamental Duties that are enshrined in Chapter IV-A (Article 51A) of the Indian Constitution throughout the country. This campaign will culminate on 14th April 2020, Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Birth Anniversary, which is celebrated as Samrasta Diwas.

Fundamental Duties impart directions of citizenship behaviour on the part of all concerned .The onus of implementation of Fundamental Duties is on every citizen.

Though not legally enforceable, they have an inherent element of compulsion regarding compliance because what is duty for one is another person’s right. It is critical now that sincere and effective effectuation of message and values enumerated in Fundamental Duties gets transmitted to all levels of citizenry.

By undertaking to reinforce these Fundamental Duties, it is felt that we, as common citizens, can play a positive and effective role in fulfilling our duties towards our country and fellow citizens and will also ensure that India occupies a rightful place in the comity of nations.
