About National Seminar

The Constitution of India is considered to be a transformative document which aims to fundamentally reshape Indian society, moving away from a hierarchical structure towards an egalitarian and democratic one. This transformation has been achieved through various means, including the establishment of a secular and democratic state, the protection of fundamental rights, and the promotion of social justice. With this concept in mind, the National Seminar aims to provide a platform

i. To critically assess the evolution of Constitutional principles during the preceding 75 years;

ii. To envision the path forward to ensure that the Constitution of India remains robust, vibrant, relevant and inclusive; and,

iii. Address the emerging challenges.

The Seminar discourse may be in the line of the following sub-themes:

1. Historical Context and Foundational Vision
2. Evolution through Amendments and Judicial Review
3. Federalism, Decentralisation and Cooperative Governance
4. Rights and Duties in Changing Society in India
5. Challenges ahead: Digital age, Climate Justice, Terrorism and Globalisation
