About the Mahotsav
Samvidhan Mahotsav 2025 is a national cultural-constitutional celebration Organised by the Centre for Development of Intellectual Property and Research (CDIPR), Naovina Development of Intellectual Property and Research Foundation in association with the Indian Centre for Child and Human Rights (ICCHR) and Amazon Kindle, on the historic occasion of the 76th Constitution Day of India.
Marking 75 years of the Living Constitution, this Mahotsav is dedicated to honoring the spirit, resilience and transformative power of the Constitution of India as a living document that evolves with the people, their struggles, aspirations, identities and movements.
