The Indian Constitution framed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is the foundation of all laws in the country and contains both citizens' rights and duties, said M. Eshwar, Senior Civil Judge and member-secretary of District Legal Services Authority, Chamarajanagar. Speaking at the inauguration of the 'Legal Awareness for Students and presentation of State-level Student Ratna Award', on Friday, Mr. Eshwar said that everyone is equal under the law, and individuals should gain legal awareness as it was essential to build a life as a good citizen in society. He said one need not have complete knowledge of it, but developing adequate legal awareness was necessary for daily life. Chamarajanagar University Vice-Chancellor M.R. Gangadhar underlined the importance of cultivating legal awareness, and said it was imperative for the youth. Though it has been 75 years since the country gained independence, discussions revolving around creating legal awareness remains a widely discussed topic, Mr. Gangadhar said. He said incidents of atrocities against women and children continue to occur, and legal awareness was necessary for everyone to address such issues. Students who achieved excellence in various fields were honored with the State level 'Student Ratna Award' and certificates of appreciation. Award recipients Sulochana, and Sinchana from Hondarabalu Jawahar Navodaya School, who had participated in the Prime Minister's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' programme, shared their thoughts at the event.
