Prof K.Nageshwar, Department of Communication and Journalism, Osmania University, Hyderabad said that despite the apprehensions of the leaders of many countries, our constitution has stood the test of time. He said our Constitution was considered too large, too wide, too rigid and too superfluous, to survive.

 

Contrary to these beliefs, ours is one of the 192 Constitutions in the world, which has survived for 70 years. A study of Constitutions of 792 countries,  framed between 1786-2006, has shown that the average life of a Constitution is 17 years. Unlike those, our Constitution framed by the likes of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar, a legal luminary par excellence, is particularly significant for both it's longevity and durability.  

 

Prizes were distributed to the winners of the Essay Writing competition conducted by ROB o this occasion.  Artistes of the Song & Drama Division of ROB, presented a cultural programme.
