-


The School of Business and Management (MBA), City Campus, Pune, successfully organized an awareness program titled “Constitution Matters: Awareness for Active Citizenship” on 5th March, from 11:45 AM to 1:45 PM at the Seminar Hall, 4th Floor. The session was conducted by Dr. Sanjay Satyanarayanan Bang from the School of Law, Christ University, Pune Lavasa, who brought valuable legal and constitutional insights to the audience.

The primary objective of the program was to enhance constitutional literacy among management students and to emphasize the importance of being informed, responsible, and active citizens in a democratic society. In the contemporary context of rapid socio-economic and political changes, the session highlighted how understanding constitutional principles is not only essential for law students but also highly relevant for future business leaders and professionals.

Dr. Bang began the session by explaining the foundational values of the Indian Constitution, such as justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. He elaborated on how these values form the backbone of democratic governance and ensure the protection of individual rights while maintaining social order. The discussion provided students with a deeper understanding of the philosophical and legal framework that guides the functioning of the nation.

A significant portion of the session focused on Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties. Dr. Bang explained how Fundamental Rights empower citizens by guaranteeing freedoms such as equality before the law, freedom of speech and expression, and protection against discrimination. At the same time, he emphasized the importance of Fundamental Duties, reminding students that rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. He encouraged students to actively contribute to society by respecting the Constitution, promoting harmony, and safeguarding public property.

The session also explored the relevance of constitutional awareness in the field of management. Dr. Bang effectively linked constitutional principles with business ethics, corporate governance, and public policy. He highlighted that future managers and business leaders must make decisions that are not only profitable but also ethical and socially responsible. Understanding constitutional values can help professionals navigate complex ethical dilemmas, ensure compliance with legal frameworks, and contribute positively to organizational and societal development.

Another key aspect of the session was the discussion on active citizenship. Dr. Bang encouraged students to go beyond theoretical knowledge and actively participate in democratic processes. He stressed the importance of staying informed about public issues, engaging in constructive dialogue, and exercising one’s rights responsibly, such as voting and advocating for social justice. The session aimed to inspire students to become proactive contributors to nation-building rather than passive observers.

The interactive nature of the program allowed students to engage with the speaker through questions and discussions. This helped in clarifying doubts and deepening their understanding of constitutional concepts. Students showed keen interest in topics related to governance, rights, and the role of citizens in shaping public policy.

Overall, the event successfully achieved its objective of creating awareness about the Constitution and its relevance in everyday life and professional practice. It reinforced the idea that constitutional literacy is crucial for developing responsible and ethical leaders. By connecting legal knowledge with management education, the session provided a holistic perspective on the role of individuals in a democratic society.

The initiative by the School of Business and Management reflects its commitment to nurturing socially conscious and ethically grounded professionals. Such programs play a vital role in shaping informed citizens who are equipped to contribute meaningfully to society, uphold democratic values, and drive sustainable and inclusive growth.
