The Fundamental law of the land is its constitution, consequently Constitutional

law is a subject of paramount importance. Constitutional law as a subject deals

with the framework of governance of a country. The governance framework lays

down structure of government, functions of institutions such as legislative,

executive and judicial. The study of Constitutional law includes provisions,

interpretation and changes desired based on experience. The nomenclature suggests

the breadth and width to be covered in the subject. The discussion and lecture

travels beyond the reading and understanding of bare provisions of the ndian

Constitution.

comprehensively dealt as a single subject. Therefore, the study of Constitution of

ndia is divided into two parts, Constitutional !overnance " and . Constitutional

!overnance " deals with salient features of the Constitution, fundamental rights,directive principles and fundamental duties.
