‘Festival on Democracy’ organized to mark the conclusion of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of the Kerala Legislative Assembly was inaugurated by Honble’ President Sri Ram Nath Kovind on 6th August 2018.
In a lively and enlightening speech the President of India said : “A person may believe in one faith or the other or he or she many not believe in any faith at all. That’s not important. What matters most is the culture of educated and informed debate and of mutual accommodation that has been part of Kerala’s DNA, which continues to be preserved. It must be preserved in public and it must be preserved in this assembly”.
Reflecting his thoughts on the different conferences on important themes of legislative democracy as part of the event, president Ram Nath Kovind said that all of those were extremely meaningful themes and that he was confident that the deliberations would translate into meaningful actions for the progress of legislative democracy in our country. Such a celebration of ideas was entirely in keeping with Kerala’s rich intellectual legacy, the president observed.
The first conference on Festival on Democracy titled ‘National Legislatures Conference on Challenges in the Empowerment of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Independent India’ was conducted after the inauguration ceremony of Festival on Democracy.
The second subject in the series of conferences titled National Women Legislatures’ Conference will conduct in the month of September, 2018.
FESTIVAL ON DEMOCRACY
Aimed at fostering, inculcating, sensitising, reiterating and thereby strengthening the values and ethos of democracy

These included seminars led by eminent persons from different fields of activity, exhibitions, Students’ Model Assemblies, Debates, special Assembly visit programmes for selected sections of society etc.
As the final phase of the celebrations draws near, a ‘Festival on Democracy’ has been conceived including a series of national level seminars, aimed at fostering, inculcating, sensitising, reiterating and thereby strengthening the values and ethos of democracy, as envisaged in the Constitution of India. With a view to closely involve diverse sections of the society in this effort, six national level conferences are being held at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
