“The Constitution of India provides us with broad guidelines of a moral and virtuous life. Let us hope that the spirit of the Constitution guides us into the future,” Shalini Rajneesh, additional chief secretary, said in Belagavi on Wednesday. She was speaking after inaugurating the `Dr Ambedkar Odu’ programme, organised as part of Dr. Ambedkar death anniversary celebrations in the Suvarna Soudha.
“We the citizens of this country should adopt the ideals of the Constitutions including the promise we made to ourselves of building a socialist, secular democratic republic. The country will progress in all fronts if the youth adopt the ideals of the Constitution,’‘ she said.
“We are suffering from several social evils like lack of access to higher education to women, child marriage and malnutrition. All of us should strive towards eradicating these evils,” she said.
