The Indian Constitution grants rights and outlines duties, and citizens must recognize this balance. If society itself safeguards each other's rights, the need to approach courts would diminish, said former Mumbai High Court Justice Ambadas Joshi at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University’s Constitution Pride Festival on Friday.

The event, held at Mahatma Phule Auditorium, was organized in collaboration with the Higher Education Department. Justice Ambadas Joshi was the keynote speaker, and vice-chancellor Dr Vijay Fulari inaugurated the program in the presence of pro-vice-chancellor Dr Valmik Saravde, registrar Dr Prashant Amritkar, law department head Dr Anand Deshmukh and student development board director Dr Kailas Ambhure. Justice Joshi delivered a lecture on ‘The Indian Constitution and Challenges’, emphasizing that understanding the Preamble is crucial to grasping the Constitution itself. "The Indian Constitution is the only one in the world that is self-dedicated to its people," he noted.

Vice-chancellor’s remarks on rights and duties

In his concluding address, Vice-Chancellor Dr Vijay Fulari highlighted that the Constitution grants fundamental rights and duties to every citizen, especially the youth, who must be aware of them. The festival aimed to reaffirm constitutional values in its Amrit Mahotsav (Platinum Jubilee) year.
