On November 26, 1949, the Constituent assembly had met and with loud and prolonged cheers and thumping of desks greeted the passing of the Constitution. “It took two years, 11 months and 17 days to accomplish the stupendous task of drafting the Indian Constitution. The Indian Constitution that has over 90,000 words is the toil of and 271 men and women who were part of the constituent assembly that drafted it. By all means the Constitution serves as a powerful emancipation proclamation ending centuries of discrimination, economic, political and social exclusion for millions of people” shared the Faculty of Law, Integral .

Dr. Rajendra Prasad, President of the Constituent Assembly, in his speech before putting the motion to pass the Constitution had paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and said that “I shall only hope that all those whose good fortune it may be to work this Constitution in future, will remember that it was a unique victory which we achieved by unique method taught by the Father of the Nation, and it is up to us to preserve and protect the Independence that we have won and to make it really bear fruit for the man in the street."
After the Constitution was passed, the historic session of the Constituent Assembly ended with the singing of the National Anthem "Jana-gana-mana adhinayaka Jai Hey, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata," by Purnima Banerjee, a veteran freedom fighter and sister of the late freedom fighter, Aruna Asaf Ali.

The draft of the constitution was prepared by the drafting committee under B.R Ambedkar’s aegis. According to the government notification, the Constitution Day was also a tribute to Ambedkar.
