On this day, January 26, 1950, the Constitution was promulgated for several reasons. After the independence of the country, the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on 26 November 1949. At the same time, on 26 January 1950, the Constitution was enacted with a democratic system of government. India was declared a full republic on this day. The main reason for promulgation of the Constitution on 26 January is that on this day in 1930, the Indian National Congress declared India’s complete independence.
In the year 1929, a meeting was held through the Indian National Congress under the chairmanship of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. In which it was unanimously declared that the British Government should grant Dominion status to India by 26 January 1930. India’s Independence Day was celebrated for the first time on this day.
Until independence on 15th August 1947, Independence Day was celebrated on 26th January only. The Constitution was promulgated on 26 January 1950 and 26 January 1930 was declared as Republic Day to mark the date of declaration of full independence.
Dr. Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, who is known as the architect of the Indian Constitution, prepared the draft of the constitution according to which the work is going on in the country today. After many revisions and changes, the 308 members of the committee signed two copies of the manuscript on January 24, 1950. It was implemented in the country two days later on January 26.
