The Art of Constitution-Making: “Nyayamana” Unveiled

A constitution is not just forged from quill and page; rather, it is constructed from voices, visions, arguments, debates, and dissents. Nyayamana, a flagship event hosted by the Centre for Constitutional Law at Dharmshastra National Law University, aims to bring this spirit of constitution framing to life. Nyayanama presents an arena where brilliant minds can meet, imagine, clash, or negotiate all to give birth to the foundational text that is constitutional. Nyayanama is an event that brings life to the spirit of nation building, beyond being a competition, it’s an immersive journey into the constitution genesis.

Nyayanama is unlike other competitions like moot courts, where arguments are centred around a single case, and debates, where words clash. Nyayanama simulates the energy of a Constituent Assembly. It is a one-of-a-kind venture wherein the oratory practices of mock parliament are combined with the statesmanship of the model UN. Participants get to step inside the shoes of nation-builders, navigating party politics, ideological differences, and the delicate art of compromise to draft a working constitution.
