This course aims to make the Constitution of India accessible to everyone, irrespective of their background. The Indian Constitution was drafted to be comprehensible to the common person, but over time, its understanding has become limited to legal professionals. This course endeavours to demystify and simplify the architecture, design, and content of the Constitution.

The course divides the Constitution into a unique 20-week syllabus (with one week reserved for review), providing a comprehensive overview of the entire document with sufficient details. Each lecture incorporates readings of important Constitutional provisions and relevant case laws to understand their practical application.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact with the course instructor, fellow attendees, and make case presentations to develop critical analysis skills. The course builds from the basics and gradually covers nuances, making it accessible to all.
