On 26 November 2024, it has been 75 years since the Constitution of India came into force and was adopted. The 75th anniversary of Constitution Day is being celebrated in the country today. Meanwhile, “Our Constitution, Our Self-Respect” campaign has also been launched in the country. The campaign marked the beginning of a historic year-long celebration.
It is noteworthy that 26 November is celebrated as Constitution Day in India, because on this day in 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution, which came into force on 26 January 1950 and began a new era in Indian history. According to the PIB release, the government’s campaign “Our Constitution, Our Swabhiman” aims to honor the contributions of the framers of the Constitution and also “reiterate the core values enshrined in it”.
To mark the occasion, President Draupadi Murmu will address a joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament on Tuesday, marking the beginning of the year-long celebrations to mark 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution of India. President Draupadi Murmu will address the members of both the houses of Parliament in the Central Hall on the occasion of ‘Constitution Day’ on Tuesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also attend the Constitution Day celebrations, which marks 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution of India.
Let us tell you that the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly was held on December 9, 1946 in the Central Hall of the Old Parliament House in New Delhi. As reported on the Lok Sabha website, the chamber was lavishly decorated for the occasion that day and was also given a “cluster of bright lamps hanging from high ceilings” and brackets on the walls. This program will be organized in the Central Hall of Parliament. During the ceremony, Prime Minister Modi will release the Annual Report (2023-24) of the Indian Judiciary and address the gathering.
