PRAYAGRAJ: On his visit to Prayagraj, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Constitution gallery located on Triveni Marg in Sector 4, after observing the Police Gallery. The Constitution Gallery was set up on CM Yogi’s special instructions and features a series of exhibitions, including a library of books and texts based on the Indian Constitution.
During his visit, CM Yogi said, “Those who are talking about saving the Constitution had once changed its basic spirit. They should come to Mahakumbh and see what real respect for the Constitution looks like and how it is upheld. “No society can function without the Constitution and its laws,” he added.
The CM further praised the Constitution Gallery, saying that such efforts would help make the new generation aware of the Constitution’s importance. “By organizing this gallery at the world’s largest human gathering at Mahakumbh, an effort has been made to educate the millions of visitors about the creation, implementation, and articles of the Constitution. Through audio explanations, people can gain detailed knowledge about the subject,” he added.
He also pointed out that for 55 consecutive years, a political party had made amendments to the Constitution for personal interests, thereby changing its basic spirit. “We respect the Constitution as an ideal, and through it, we strive to provide justice to every section of society,” CM Yogi said. He also criticized those who take an oath with the Constitution in hand but have neither an original copy of the Constitution in their home nor have they ever read it.
The exhibition in the Constitution Gallery features a comprehensive showcase of historical events, key documents, and the contributions of prominent personalities in the creation of the Indian Constitution. The Constituent Assembly’s discussions are also presented through audio, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the Constitution’s evolution.
The digital gallery brings the journey of the Constitution to life. When visitors touch the screen, the pages of the Constitution open, and an interactive wall provides insights into the historical moments related to the drafting and implementation of the Constitution. A timeline on the digital screen allows viewers to explore key milestones in the Constitution’s history year by year.
Different sections within the gallery focus on the Constitution, its makers, and significant historical events. A Virtual Reality (VR) experience is also available, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the glorious moments of the Constitution’s creation. Additionally, a touch-screen selfie point at the entry allows visitors to take photos with the national symbol, the Ashoka Pillar, with just a single tap.
The exhibition also shares fascinating stories, such as the confusion once surrounding the national anthem, ‘Jana Gana Mana,’ and how Rabindra Nath Tagore clarified the situation.
