National Constitution Day

Every year, the 26th of November is National Constitution Day or Samvidhan Divas. This day marks the
adoption of the Indian Constitution by the Constituent Assembly in 1949. However, the Indian Constitution
became effective on 26th January 1950. Every year, we celebrate Republic Day on 26th January.

Our constitution makers took about two years to draft a comprehensive document that would reflect the
current state of our country

A fascinating fact about the Indian constitution is that it was enacted at the time of independence, when India
faced enormous challenges, including safeguarding the lives and welfare of millions of people who had been
displaced by the partition. In the face of violence and uncertainty, the Constituent Assembly drafted a
Constitution that reflects the nation's exceptional diversity, spanning languages, races, castes, and classes.
Several other nations contributed encouragement and inspiration to the Constituent Assembly during this
challenging time.
