75th Constitution Day of India:
The President will begin the celebrations marking 75 years of the adoption of India’s Constitution, with a joint address to both Houses of the Parliament.
- It is also known as Samvidhan Divas and is celebrated every year on November 26 to commemorate the day the Constitution of India was adopted in 1949.
- Drafted under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s leadership, the Constitution aimed to ensure justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all Indian citizens.
- It finally came into effect on January 26, 1950, when India became a republic.
- In 2015, under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, the government designated November 26 as Constitution Day to promote constitutional values and coincide with Ambedkar’s 125th birth anniversary.
- Before this, the day was celebrated as Law Day.
