Great to see former CJI Gavai participating. Such events remind us of the vision our founding fathers had for India. The oath-taking ceremony is particularly meaningful - every citizen should understand and respect our Constitution.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope such conferences lead to actual policy changes. We still have a long way to go in achieving true social justice and equality as envisioned by Dr Ambedkar. The gap between constitutional ideals and ground reality needs more attention.

Jai Bhim! 🙏 Dr Ambedkar's vision continues to guide our nation. The inclusion of students and researchers is commendable - our youth must understand the constitutional values that make India great. More such events should be organized in tier-2 and tier-3 cities too.

The theme "Living Constitution" is so appropriate! Our Constitution has evolved beautifully over 75 years while maintaining its core principles. The participation of 700+ delegates shows how relevant constitutional values remain in modern India.

As someone who has studied comparative constitutions, India's document is truly remarkable. The fact that it has guided the world's largest democracy for 75 years is extraordinary. Hope the conference discussions are made available online for wider reach.
