The Constitution is workable, flexible and strong enough to hold the country together both in peace-time and in wartime. Constitution Day, also known as National Law Day, is celebrated in India on 26 November every year to commemorate the adoption of the Constitution of India. On 26 November 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India adapted to the Constitution of India, and it came into effect on 26 January 1950.
