Tue Nov 26 16:49:42 UTC 2024: ## India Celebrates Constitution Day

**New Delhi, November 26, 2024** – India commemorated Constitution Day, or Samvidhan Divas, today, marking the adoption of its Constitution on November 26, 1949. The day, officially declared in 2015, honors the foundational values of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity enshrined within the document.

Celebrations nationwide focused on the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution, whose vision of a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic continues to guide the nation. Ambedkar famously described the Constitution not merely as a legal document, but as a living embodiment of the nation’s spirit.

This year’s Constitution Day comes as the nation reflects on its democratic journey and commitment to its constitutional ideals. The day serves as a reminder of the citizens’ responsibilities in upholding these values and building a just and equitable society. Events across the country highlighted the importance of active civic participation and engagement with the Constitution.
