Constitution Strengthening Campaign

“Samvidhanada Kadege Namma Nadige” – Our Walk Towards the Constitution

          Jagrutha Mahila Sanghatane (JMS) initiated the Constitution Strengthening Campaign in September 2023, to deepen awareness of 

constitutional values and nurture communal harmony. By engaging women, youth, and school children through songs, skits, 

participatory workshops, and public dialogues, the campaign connects the ideals of the Indian Constitution to everyday life. 

It inspires communities to recognize their rights, uphold justice, and strengthen democratic participation at the local level.

2025 – Constitution strengthening campaign activities 

Supporting Young Women’s Education  

As part of empowering rural girls, JMS identified and supported 49 promising young women from marginalized communities to 

continue their higher education in 2025. Honored during the Silver Jubilee celebrations, each student received a backpack with the JMS logo, notebooks, pens, clothes, and a certificate, along with small financial assistance where needed. This initiative not only encouraged dignity, confidence, and motivation among the students but also helped reduce dropout rates, ensuring that more girls from rural areas could pursue their studies with pride and determination.
