This year a new Constitution Museum was opened in Sonipat, Haryana to familiarize citizens with the history of democracy in India. The museum contains a photolithograph copy of the Indian constitution and the touch-and-feel visions of world constitutions. It also takes you through the struggles for Indian independence and detailing the process that led to Constitution making. It supports the government\u2019s efforts to conduct a constitutional campaign aimed at increasing constitutional literacy among the population. There was also Constitution Day, when the contributions of women in drafting the Constitution were also celebrated.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    Let us recall that President Droupadi Murmu during her inaugural speech also pointed out that women played an active role in preparation of the Constitution. Thus out of 299 members of the Constituent Assembly, 15 were women and they were such luminaries as Sarojini Naidu, Sucheta Kripalani and Dakshayani Velayudhan. These women brought topics of gender equity, justice as well as education, in their various platforms.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
