The Constitution was passed by theConstituent Assembly of Indiaon 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition toward becoming an independentrepublic. 26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress.It is one of three national holidays inIndia, other two being Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti.
