The event marked the launch of the nation-wide drive, over the next 365 days and beyond, to encourage proper singing of our National Anthem the right way and the reading and study of the Constitution of India across schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions. The initiative includes speaking at gatherings of students in schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions, during assembly time, in offices and institutions, conducting workshops and training sessions. The project will cut through the urban-rural, socio-economic, geographical, cultural and other divides to unite the nation and its people. We will impart and kindle a spirit of patriotism and a love for this nation in the hearts of every member of our next generation, the impact of which will last for a lifetime!
This event forms a part of the ongoing Nation Building Project “Come India Sing Jana Gana Mana” that was launched on 15th August 2013, our Independence Day. The Lorraine Music Academy, as a part of its Technology enabled Nation-wide Education Movement, is making available for FREE the opportunity for any Citizen of India to learn to play and sing our National Anthem JANA GANA MANA and to also learn key aspects of the Constitution of India on the Lorraine Music Platform. In partnership with IIT Madras, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Government of India, we are making this available via the SWAYAM Plus portal for all to access. We have plans to take forward this initiative to all Citizens across 28 States and 8 Union Territories.
Aubrey Aloysius, Co-Founder of the Lorraine Music Academy and the LAMP Trust, says “Music is food for the soul. Good food and good exercise gives you good physical stability. A good diet of the right kind of music gives you mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual stability. Music helps the creative process and sparks the imagination and ideas. When this musical imagination and experience of singing our National Anthem is ignited in a group circumstance, we have the most extraordinary power to change young lives for positive living and nation-building. The study of the Constitution of India is very important for every student in India. The reading and study of the Constitution of India is an important part of our education as it will help build our youth to be responsible citizens by understanding, appreciating and implementing our Rights along with our Fundamental Duties. We believe, for example, that the proper understanding of Article 51A will help us build Responsible Citizens and Leaders of the future.”
The ongoing project is a clarion call to 1.44 Billion Indians to stand together for one cause – the Unity of India, by singing one song – our National Anthem, in the correct code as laid out in the Constitution of India, which is around 52 seconds. The project aims to encourage the youth of the nation to fulfill their Fundamental Duties as Citizens of India as per Article 51A of the Constitution of India.
The Constitution of India is the world’s longest written constitution. It took the Constituent Assembly 11 sessions and 167 days of reading, discussion and debate using 36 lakh spoken words, spread over a period of 2 years 11 months and 18 days, involving 274 members who used 1.4 lakh words at that time to frame the Constitution of India and adopt it on 26th November 1949. In its journey over the past 75 years, the Constitution of India has been amended 106 times to reflect the changing needs and aspirations of the country. Today it contains 395 articles and 12 schedules.
