Thousands of youngsters to recite the Preamble of Constitution at India Gate on Nov 25
New Delhi, Nov 22: In a special initiative to raise awareness about the Constitution, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Friday said that over 10,000 youngsters will participate in a 5.5-kilometer padyatra in the national capital on November 25.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Indian Constitution, which was adopted on November 26, 1949.
Organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the padyatra named "Mera sambhidhav mera swabhiman", will see the young participants recite the Preamble of the Constitution at India Gate, as part of a broader effort to engage the nation’s youth with the foundational principles of the Constitution.
Over 10000 participants, aged 15-29, from over 125 educational institutions have already been registered for the event through the 'MYBharat' portal.
The event will start at 8:30 am from the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium and pass through several key locations in the city, including Garvi Gandhi Bhawan, Sunehri Masjid, and Mansingh Road, before concluding at the stadium around 11 am.
Mandaviya highlighted that the padyatra is a significant step towards fostering leadership and raising constitutional awareness among young people.
"This padyatra aims to encourage youth to understand and embrace the Constitution. It will also help in developing leadership skills and capacity building," Mandaviya said.
The minister further emphasised the importance of such marches, citing the recent 'Mati ke Veer Padyatra,' where youth not only spread messages on cleanliness and fitness but also organised the entire event, learning key leadership lessons in the process.
The Minister said the march aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to increase youth's participation in shaping India's future.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
