• World Book of Records recognises Outstanding Government-Led Initiatives Promoting Constitutional Values and Indirect Tax Awareness Across India

Gujarat, India: Chanchal Tiwari IRS, Joint Director and Commissioner of Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Government of India, has achieved two remarkable milestones through large-scale nationwide initiatives, earning recognition from Government of India and Government of Gujarat, along with prestigious inclusion in World Book of Records.

The achievements were accomplished through the Directorate General of Taxpayer Services (DGTS), Ahmedabad Zonal Unit, CBIC, India, under his leadership and institutional initiative. Both records were organised, commemorating Constitution Day and reinforcing awareness of the constitutional values and responsibilities of citizens.

The first achievement recognises the organisation of Largest Government-Led Hybrid Programme on Constitution and Indirect Tax Awareness, integrating awareness of the Constitution of India, Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Customs across more than 750 locations simultaneously throughout the country, with the participation of over 1,00,000 individuals. Conducted under the theme “Beyond the Document: Living the Values of the Constitution”, the initiative brought together participants through a coordinated hybrid platform to promote constitutional literacy and taxpayer awareness.

The second recognition acknowledges the Nationwide Simultaneous Collective Recitation of the Preamble to Constitution of India, which brought together more than 1,00,000 participants across over 750 locations throughout India. In a remarkable demonstration of collective participation and national unity, participants recited the Preamble simultaneously. Recognising these significant achievements, Santosh Shukla, CEO of World Book of Records, personally presented the prestigious certificates to Chanchal Tiwari at World Book of Records office.

These two milestones highlight the importance of innovative government initiatives in strengthening constitutional awareness, promoting responsible citizenship and improving public understanding of India’s indirect taxation framework. They also demonstrate how coordinated public participation and institutional commitment can create meaningful nationwide impact.
