Kollegal, February 22, 2020: Prof. G.S. Suma, Assistant Professor at Sri Shivakumara PU College, Belakawadi, emphasized the existence of social disparity in India and called for collective efforts to eliminate this disparity. She delivered a special lecture on the topic “Indian Constitution and Social Justice” organized by the Political Science Department of JSS Women’s College, Kollegal, on the occasion of World Social Justice Day.
During her lecture, Prof. Suma stressed the importance of fulfilling the objective of social justice by ensuring that every constitutional provision reaches every individual equally in the country.
