The program was presided over by the President of the University Shri. Jitendra Joshi encompassing a series of events.
The program was inaugurated by lighting the lamp and collectively reading the Preamble of the Constitution. Shri Jitender Joshi, President, Uttaranchal University in his presidential address, stated that our Constitution is a unique example of wisdom, capability, and experience, and reading it is no less than a prayer for every Indian.
Mr Munna Singh Chauhan in his address averred that the students have presented an exemplary example by donating their blood on Constitution Day and directly contributing to the health services of the state. He said that the origin and continuous development of the democratic values enshrined in the Constitution had its roots in the Vedic period. Socialism and secularism are the result of amendments and Parliamentary sovereignty is also the basic structure of the Constitution. He advised the students to focus on increasing their capabilities rather than success.
