CONSTITUTION DAY

“Our Federal Constitution embodies the idea of Modern India:it defines not India but also Modernity.” - Dr. Pranab Mukherjee, President of India.

Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas) is celebrated on 26th of November every year in India to honor and remember the Father of Constitution, Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. The constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 and came into force on 26th January in 1950. Dr. Ambedkar was invited by the government to serve as the first Law Minister of India and was appointed as the Constitution Drafting Committee’s Chairman. The constitution of India was adopted to constitute the country as an independent, communist, secular, autonomous and republic to secure the Indian citizens by the justice, equality, liberty and union.
