Future Generations Will Cherish Democracy Through Samvidhan Sahitya Vatika Inaugurated by Om Birla

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla inaugurated the Samvidhan Sahitya Vatika, a park dedicated to the Constitution, in Buddhi Vihar Phase 2. This unique space, costing over Rs 15 crore and spanning two acres, integrates art, culture, and civic education. It showcases India's constitutional values through sculptures, murals, and installations.

The Vatika aims to inspire future generations to value democracy. Om Birla highlighted the contributions of Moradabad's artisans in creating this meaningful civic space. He described the day as historic and noted that the Vatika would particularly inspire young citizens.

Constitutional Values and Artistic Installations

The garden reflects the core principles of the Constitution. Artistic installations depict its evolution from ancient Indian philosophy to post-independence developments. Local craftsmanship in stone and metal carvings brings these narratives to life, according to Birla.

Statues and murals of key constitution-makers like B R Ambedkar, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Jawaharlal Nehru are featured. Interactive plaques and QR codes provide deeper insights into their lives and contributions.

Blending Tradition with Modernity

The Vatika's architectural design combines traditional Indian motifs such as jaali work, arches, and symbols like the Vatvriksha banyan tree with contemporary elements. This blend creates a living museum atmosphere.

A section of the garden is dedicated to India's literary heritage. It features murals of renowned writers such as Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Girish Karnad. Eleven classical Indian languages are represented through themed trees and murals.

Celebrating Literary Heritage

Local literary figures like Jigar Moradabadi, Durga Dutt Tripathi, and Mansoor Usmani are honoured in the Vatika. To enhance visitor engagement, especially for women, a book cafe has been set up with a curated collection of renowned literary works.

Om Birla remarked on India's culture, literature, and heritage as sources of inspiration. He acknowledged Moradabad's writers and thinkers for their significant contributions to national thought through creative work.

The inauguration was attended by MLC Jaipal Singh Vyas, MLA Thakur Ramveer Singh Kundarki, Moradabad City MLA Ritesh Gupta, BJP State President Bhupendra Chaudhary, and other officials.
