Every year Republic Day is celebrated in India on 26th January with grandeur.This year India will be celebrating its 72nd Republic Day on the 26th of January.

After gaining independence from the British rule, the new constitution was drafted by the drafting committee helmed by Dr.BR Ambedkar. The Indian Constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950, which affirmed India’s existence as an independent republic. January 26th was chosen as the date because on this day in 1930, the Indian National Congress proclaimed Purna Swaraj, the declaration of India’s independence from the colonial rule.

"A thousand salutes to the great nation of ours. May it become even more prosperous."

26 January is celebrated as Republic Day with great fervor and respect throughout the country. This is the day when the Republic and the Constitution came into force in India. This is the reason that this day is also associated with the self-respect and honor of our country. On this day many programs are organized all over the country and it is celebrated with great pomp, especially in schools and government offices.

Let us take a pledge that we would not let the efforts of our brave freedom fighters go in vain. We would strive to make our country the best in the world.

History

After independence, a drafting committee was asked to prepare a draft of the permanent constitution of India at a meeting on 28 August 1947. On 4 November 1947, the draft of the Constitution of India was placed in the House under the chairmanship of Dr. BR Ambedkar. The constitution was prepared in 2 years, 11 months, and 18 days. The wait finally ended on 26 January 1950 with its introduction. At the same time, the pledge of Purna Swaraj was also respected.
