Abstract: India's vibrant democracy is built on the ideals of justice, equality, and fraternity enshrined in its Constitution, requiring continuous interpretation to address societal challenges. This paper explores transformative constitutionalism, an approach that dismantles inequalities and expands rights, focusing on its impact on women and the environment. Landmark judgments have empowered women by enhancing access to education, employment, and property rights while challenging entrenched social norms. Similarly, transformative interpretations of the right to life have advanced environmental protection through stricter regulations and judicial interventions. However, implementation gaps and resistance hinder progress. The study emphasizes the need for robust enforcement mechanisms, active civil society participation, and technological advancements to bridge these gaps. Achieving sustainable development requires balancing environmental protection with growth. The conclusion highlights the collective responsibility of institutions and the public to realize the transformative promises of the Constitution, fostering an equitable and just future for all citizens.
