The VTU has introduced this subject, and made it compulsary to study this subject, really it is an great attempt made by the university to educate the students about the indian constitution and ethics, every citizen of india should know about the constitution of India as it is a fundamental law and supreme law of the nation. the engineering students may not get the chance in the future to know about the supreme law, to know about theire rights guranteed to them and the remedies if they are violated. it is unfortunate that that even educated people does not know who makes law in India and how laws are enacted etc., the knowledge of constitution of India is must for building our nation and to save our nation.
