It is a matter of great pride for all of us. The Constitution handed over to us by our Constitution makers has stood the test of time. The Constitution is a guiding light for us, our guide.

India marked a milestone on November 26, 2024, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India. On this day in 1949, the Indian Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution, which came into force on January 26, 1950, establishing India as a democratic republic. In 2015, the Government of India designated November 26 as Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas) to honor the adoption of the Constitution. Since then, the nation has celebrated this occasion annually.
PM Modi also praised the farmers of Odisha’s Kalahandi district in transforming it into a vegetable hub.
“I want to tell you about an effort in Kalahandi, Odisha – The ‘Vegetable Revolution’ where once farmers were forced to migrate; today, Golamunda block of Kalahandi has become a vegetable hub. It started with a small group of just 10 farmers. This group together established an FPO – ‘Kisan Utpad Sangh’, started using modern technology in farming, and today their FPO is doing business worth crores. Today more than 200 farmers are associated with this FPO, including 45 women farmers. This success of Kalahandi teaches us what all can be done with determination and collective effort,” he said.
