On the eve of Constitution Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the work of the Constituent Assembly in framing the Constitution in less than three years was a great example of productivity and time management.

Making his 50th Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Mr. Modi on Sunday urged the country to take forward the values enshrined in the Constitution to bring “peace, progress and prosperity.”

The unique point in our Constitution, Mr. Modi said, is that the rights and duties have been given in detail, adding that a balance between these two in the lives of the citizens will take the nation forward.

The PM mentioned the pivotal role played by Dr. B.R.Ambedkar in the Constituent Assembly.
