November 26, 2024, marked the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India as the Indian Constituent Assembly formally adopted the Constitution on November 26, 1949. However, the Constitution came into effect on January 26, 1950, establishing India as a sovereign, democratic republic and hence on January 26, 2025 the nation completes 75 years of the Indian Republic.
In 2015, the Government of India formally declared November 26 as Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas) to honour the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1949. Since then, each year on this day, the nation celebrates the Constitution's adoption. (ANI)
