Constitution Day or Samvidhan Diwas is celebrated annually in India on 26 November. The day is also known as National Law Day. On this day in 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India formally adopted the Constitution of India that came into force on 26 January 1950. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment on 19 November, 2015, notified the decision of the to celebrate 26 November as 'Constitution Day'. The day is celebrated to promote Constitution values among citizens. The Constituent Assembly met for 166 days for two years, 11 months, and 18 days before the Constitution was finally adopted. The members of the Constituent Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document on 24 January 1950 and two days later, it became the law of the land. The Constitution Day is celebrated as a mark of tribute to India's first Law Minister BR Ambedkar, who played a pivotal role in drafting the Indian Constitution.

The Constitution is a set of written principles and precedents of the Government of India that frames fundamental political principles, procedures, rights, directive principles, restrictions, and duties of the government and the citizens of the country. It declares India to be a sovereign, secular, socialist, and democratic republic and assures its citizens' equality, liberty, and justice. It is the heart, soul & guiding light of our democracy. Today, let us all take a pledge to fulfil our fundamental duties for the progress of the nation.

The meeting ended with a vote of thanks. The activities organized to celebrate Constitution Day of India were suitably highlighted on PSSCIVE website and on our social media network.
