🌟 What is Constitution Day?

It marks the historic moment when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India on 26 November 1949, which later came into effect on 26 January 1950.
The day pays tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution, and all the members who worked tirelessly to draft this guiding document.
