November 26: President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday released translated versions of the Constitution in nine Indian languages — Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Bodo, Kashmiri, Telugu, Odia and Assamese — during a ceremony at Samvidhan Sadan on the 75th Constitution Day.
Addressing Parliament, the President said she was honored to mark the historic day on which the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution in 1949. She paid tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the members of the Drafting Committee, recalling the Central Hall’s role as the venue where the nation’s foundational document was finalized.
In her speech, President Murmu highlighted key reforms undertaken in recent years, including the abolition of triple talaq, the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, and the repeal of Article 370. She also described the Nari Shakti Bandhan Act as a milestone in advancing women-led development. She noted that nationwide events are being held to commemorate 150 years of the composition of the national anthem Vande Mataram.
The ceremony concluded with leaders reading the Preamble of the Constitution, led by the President, followed by the national anthem.
