President Droupadi Murmu will preside over the Constitution Day celebrations held in the historic Central Hall of the old Parliament building on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. This event commemorates the adoption of the Constitution on November 26, 1949.
The Central Hall, also known as Samvidhan Sadan, holds historical significance as the location where the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution. The Constitution came into force on January 26, 1950.
The event is expected to include addresses from prominent leaders. In the past, such events have been attended by the Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Lok Sabha Speaker.
Constitution Day, also known as National Constitution Day, is celebrated annually on November 26 to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. It recognizes the efforts of the Constituent Assembly in framing the Constitution and highlights the significance of the Constitution in the nation's history and governance. The day promotes constitutional values among citizens.
Past Constitution Day celebrations have included the release of commemorative coins and stamps, as well as copies of the Constitution in different languages. Additionally, books and booklets related to the Constitution have been released during these events.
Furthermore, nationwide readings of the Preamble to the Constitution have been organized, with citizens participating both in India and abroad. Such events foster a sense of unity and reaffirm the commitment to the principles enshrined in the Constitution.
In previous years, related initiatives have included Samvidhan Swabhiman Yatras organized by panchayats to propagate the contributions of B.R. Ambedkar to the making of the Constitution.
