Ranchi

Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar on Wednesday said the Constitution forms the bedrock of India's progress and called upon citizens to uphold its core values.

Extending greetings on Constitution Day, Gangwar wrote on X, “Our Constitution is not only the soul of the world’s largest democracy but also the basic foundation of the nation’s progress. Let us contribute to the progress of the nation by adopting its ideals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.”

Chief Minister Hemant Soren also paid tribute to the framers of the Constitution and emphasised its role in shaping an inclusive nation.
“Our Constitution unites us on the values of equality, equity, justice and freedom. It is not just a document, but a scripture—the foundation of a progressive, inclusive and just nation,” Soren said, urging people to ensure development, dignity and rights for every citizen.

Constitution Day, or Samvidhan Divas, marks the adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949.

Across the state, celebrations were organised at the Jharkhand Secretariat in Ranchi and district collectorates, where government employees read the Preamble.
