Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday greeted people on Constitution day, saying values enshrined in it must be followed in personal and public life.
Naidu also said that people must have trust in constitutional bodies and processes.
"We must uphold integrity in our personal and public life, have trust and honour in constitutional bodies and processes," the vice president Secretariat tweeted.
He said it is our "utmost national obligation" that we live earnestly by the letter and spirit of the Constitution "in our personal and community life".
Prime Minister Modi recalled the contribution of the "greats" who were part of the Constituent Assembly.
"We are proud of our Constitution and reiterate our commitment to uphold the values enshrined in it," he wrote on Twitter.
Naidu and Modi on Sunday attended a dinner hosted by the Chief Justice of India on the eve of Constitution Day.
"Attended the dinner hosted by the Chief Justice of India on the eve of Constitution Day Celebrations. Delighted to have met and interacted with Chief Justices from neighbouring countries," the vice president tweeted.
Chief justices and judges from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Nepal and Bhutan, who are here to attend the BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) conference, were also present.
This was perhaps for the first time that PM Modi attended an event in the Supreme Court complex.
Constitution Day is celebrated every year on November 26 to mark the adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly in 1949.
