In order to instil a sense of environmental responsibility and care for future generations in the children, a unique workshop which gave training on creating beautiful environment-friendly art works from waste materials was also organized on the occasion. A tailor-made exhibition – ‘Making of Indian Constitution’ – gave the pictorial history and background of events and milestones that made the world’s largest written Constitution a reality. 

High Commissioner and officials of the High Commission paid floral tributes to Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the main architect of the Indian Constitution on Constitution Day, 2022. Earlier, the preamble of the Constitution which professes the guiding principles of India was read out by the High Commissioner and Indian officials in Sri Lanka.

Following the adoption of the Indian Constitution on 26 November 1949, it came into effect on 26 January 1950. Indians across the world celebrate ‘Republic Day’ every year with great fervor to mark this momentous occasion. The Indian Constitution, which has drawn from best practices and procedures of various countries, has been the main anchor and basis for decision making for policy makers of India.
