When is the Constitution Day observed in India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 26 November

Constitution Day, also known as 'Samvidhan Divas', is celebrated in India on November 26 every year. This day commemorates the adoption of the Constitution of India by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949. While the Constitution came into effect on January 26, 1950 (celebrated as Republic Day), November 26 marks the historical moment of its adoption. The Government of India declared November 26 as Constitution Day in 2015 to promote constitutional values among citizens, especially on the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
