Nagpur University Becomes First in India to Introduce Constitution Studies for All Students
Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University
(RTMNU) has become the first university in India to implement a
mandatory course
on the
Indian Constitution
for all its students. The two-credit course, effective from the Summer 2025 examinations, will be compulsory across all academic programs.
The university administration stated that the new curriculum aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 guidelines. The RTMNU will provide a concise book of 30 to 40 pages, covering essential aspects of the Indian Constitution, in Hindi, Marathi, and English.
This resource, designed to address the concerns of students from science, commerce, and arts streams about what to study, will be available for free on the university's website.
This landmark initiative coincides with the 75th anniversary of the adoption of India's Constitution and the centenary celebration of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Law College, bringing pride to the university.

The course has been integrated into approximately 350 undergraduate and postgraduate programs across four faculties: Science and Technology, Commerce and Management, Humanities, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
Acting vice-chancellor Dr Madhavi Khode Chavare, acting pro-vice-chancellor Dr Subhash Kondawar, and registrar Dr Raju Hivase have played key roles in ensuring the effective implementation of the course.
The initiative originated from a concept proposed by Dr Ravishankar Mor, principal of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar College of Law, during the tenure of the former vice-chancellor, late Dr Subhash Chaudhari. The course aims to nurture a generation of students across the districts of Nagpur, Bhandara, Gondia, and Wardha who are well-versed in the Constitution. It will also equip them with a strong foundation in constitutional values, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to nation-building.
The proposal was systematically approved between June 8 and June 23, 2022, by all boards of studies, ad-hoc committees, and faculty boards, and was ratified by the Academic Council on July 8, 2022. Following these approvals, extensive efforts were made to embed the course into all existing programs, with examinations introduced to assess students' understanding.
This initiative reflects RTMNU's commitment to fostering informed citizens equipped with knowledge of India's constitutional framework.

Kanimozhi calls for spirited checking of voters' list to thwart BJP's plan to have ‘manufactured victory'
Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi on Monday urged the party cadre to give their best in popularising the DMK government's welfare schemes and checking the voters' list to include genuine voters and delete bogus names since the BJP had successfully employed the strategy in Delhi and Maharashtra fabricating its victory. Addressing a party workers' meeting held at Senkulam near Palayamkottai on Monday, she said several challenges and obstacles for Tamil and Tamils were being created by the BJP-led Union Government. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin was the only person from Tamil Nadu who was questioning the atrocities of the BJP, and the DMK was the only political movement from the State resisting its sinister designs. The ancientness of Tamil was being obliterated by the Union Government and Hindi was being imposed through the Centre's New Education Policy. Even the Central funds were being denied to Tamil Nadu to hamper its development. Hence, 'Oraniyil Tamil Nadu' had been launched to mobilise Tamils under one umbrella to strengthen its resistance. One crore new members had been enrolled in the DMK during the drive. Since each family in Tamil Nadu had received at least one welfare assistance from the government, the DMK had every right to meet the people and seek their support. The DMK men should tell the people about the betrayal of the AIADMK. At the same time, the drive had given the cadre an opportunity to meet the people at their doorstep instead of election eve. Moreover, 'Ungaludan Stalin' would be launched on Tuesday for mobilising all government departments at one place to take the government services closer to the public. The DMK functionaries should facilitate the exercise. Ms. Kanimozhi appealed to the party workers to check the voters' list as the BJP was pinning its hopes on preparing a 'fabricated voters' list' for the Assembly election. 'The DMK men should thwart the attempts of opponents by checking the voters' list. We should be prepared to face these challenges and keep the documents ready for including genuine voters and delete the fake ones. It is necessary for the DMK's victory this time.' During an informal chat with reporters, Ms. Kanimozhi, without naming Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam founder and actor Vijay, said a few actors, who had justified custodial deaths in their movies, were staging a protest against lock-up deaths. 'It is a comedy.'

'Ghislaine Maxwell didn't hang herself next week': Chilling predictions on social media after she says she will disclose 'Epstein client list'
Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to disclose what she knows about Epstein's client list. After 63-year-old Ghislaine Maxwell expressed her willingness to speak out about Jeffrey Epstein's secrets, his client list, as being the only living person of importance associated with the case, social media users predicted that now it might be her turn to 'commit suicide'. Maxwell has been in prison serving 20 years on child sex trafficking charges. Now, as the government has closed the investigation, DailyMail reported that Maxwell would be happy to sit before Congress and tell her story. The report said that Maxwell was never asked to testify before Congress, though she is the only key person associated with the major scandal, and was convicted in 2022, three years after Epstein committed suicide in his prison cell. Epstein's ghost, however, did not leave the US government as the Donald Trump administration has come under fire for abruptly closing the case, announcing that there was no foul play in Epstein's death and he indeed committed suicide. The DOJ and the FBI also closed any avenue of further leak of any name in the case as they said Epstein did not have any client list. Epstein thus remains a convicted sex offender who used to traffic underage girls with the help of Maxwell, but to unknown people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Chilling predictions on social media The suicide of Virginia Giuffre, an accuser of the Epstein case who claimed that she was sexually abused by Prince Andrew when she was a minor, made everything about the Epstein case suspicious. In an old post in 2019, Giuffre wrote she was not suicidal. Yet, she committed suicide in 2025. "According to sources speaking to the Daily Mail, Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to reveal everything she knows about Jeffrey Epstein to Congress. Note: Ghislaine Maxwell did NOT commit suicide," one post read. "Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to reveal the full Epstein List in front of Congress. So how long before she tragically gets suicided in her sleep by a bullet to the back of her head?" another wrote. Now that Maxwell wants to speak about the case, she, too, may meet the same fate, chilling conspiracy theorists note on social media. Who is Ghislaine Maxwell? Ghislaine Maxwell is a British socialite and former associate of American financier convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Born in France and raised in the UK, she is the daughter of the late British media mogul Robert Maxwell. After her father's death in 1991 under mysterious circumstances, Maxwell moved to the United States and became part of New York's elite social circles. She became closely connected with Epstein in the 1990s and was often described as his confidante, girlfriend, and later, alleged accomplice. There are speculations that her father worked for Mossad. Maxwell was accused of helping Epstein recruit, groom, and abuse underage girls, with several victims testifying that she played an active role in facilitating the abuse. In July 2020, she was arrested by the FBI and charged with multiple federal crimes, including sex trafficking of minors and perjury. She pleaded not guilty but was convicted in December 2021 on five counts, including sex trafficking of a minor. In June 2022, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
