Constitution makers’ vision has been guiding our Republic: Prez Murmu

Date:

New Delhi: Founders of the Constitution gave us a map and moral framework, the task of “walking that path remains our responsibility”, President Droupadi Murmu said in her address to the nation on the eve of 74th Republic Day on Wednesday.She said the founding document is inspired by the humanistic philosophy of the oldest living civilisation in the world as well as new ideas that emerged in more recent history.
“The nation will always remain grateful to Dr B R Ambedkar, who headed the Drafting Committee of the Constitution, and thus had a critical part in giving it the final shape. On this day, we should also remember the role of jurist B N Rau, who had prepared the initial draft, and other experts and officers who helped in making of the Constitution,” she said.The President said the country is proud of the fact that the members of that assembly represented all regions and communities of India and that they included 15 women too.“Their vision, as enshrined in the Constitution, has been continuously guiding our Republic. During this period, India has been transformed from a largely poor and illiterate nation into a confident nation marching on the world stage,” she said.The President said the transformation would not have been possible but for the “collective wisdom of the Constitution makers” guiding our path.
“While Babasaheb Ambedkar and others gave us a map and a moral framework, the task of walking that path remains our responsibility. We have largely remained true to their expectations, and yet we realise that much remains to be done to realise Gandhiji’s ideal of ‘Sarvodaya’, the upliftment of all.
