Constitution Day, also celebrated as National Law Day (or Samvidhan Diwas) in India, is observed on 26th

November every year to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. On 26th November
1949, the Constituent Assembly formally adopted the Constitution of India. It came into force on 26th
January 1950 that is observed as Republic Day.

26th November was marked as the Constitution Day of India by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the
year 2015 as a part of year-long celebration of the 125th birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar.
Constitution Day of India aims to bring awareness on the importance of the Indian Constitution and its
architect, Dr B R Ambedkar.Ambedkar was a renowned social reformer, politician and jurist and is also
called the Father of Indian Constitution. He was appointed as the chairman of the constitution drafting
committee on August 29, 1947

The Constitution of India declared India as a Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic. It declared
justice for every Indian, liberty of thought and expression, equality and fraternity.With the Constitution
of India coming into effect at long last, it had an immense significance. It signified the complete
uprooting of British dominance; it signified a country where their people govern its people. It declared
equality for all, which was nonexistent in the British hierarchy.

The preamble of the Indian Constitution is read in schools by all its students. Quiz competitions and
essay writing competitions are held to spread awareness about the importance of the Indian
Constitution among the students. Lecturers come in to say a few words about the Indian Constitution.
Through the interactions with lecturers, quizzes, debates, students become very indulged in
understanding the Indian Constitution.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the celebration of the Constitution of India is essential since we
become aware of what values our predecessors wanted to instill in us. We must understand and stand by
every word it says since it provides a guideline as to how Indians should uphold themselves. I solemnly
hope to become the Indian who makes their country proud.

Thank you.
