Happy Republic Day!
I AUYSA Wishes you all a Very Happy 74th Republic Day on this day of 2023 as Jan 26th of every year being celebrated as Republic day as the Constitution of India Came into effect in 1950, though India got independence on 15th August 1947
Need of the Constitution:-
Generally, Republic means form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body. In other sense, it’s a power held by the citizens to form the government by electing the representatives on their behalf which can also be called as Democracy which is highly substantiated as government formed by the people, of the people, for the people.
Once the Nation becomes Independent, governance of the nation and its citizens is the question of that hour. Being an independent nation and citizen of the country, one should have a sense of responsibility towards the duties which in-turn requires rights and powers to perform those duties with set of rules and regulations. Those set of rules and regulations which includes powers, rights, duties along with the administration structures and operating procedures of executive, legislature, Judiciary systems framed collectively to govern the nation will be called as the Constitution. The Constitution of India is the Supreme Law that contains all such directive principles in the form of articles and Schedules so as to guide the people of the country for smoothing functioning of every system in the country.
Components of the Constitution:-
The Constituent Assembly formally began its task of framing the Constitution of India on the 13th of December, 1946 with Jawaharlal Nehru moving the Objectives Resolution. The purpose of the resolution was to “… proclaim India as an Independent Sovereign Republic and to draw up for her future governance a Constitution…” The resolution put forth broad principles that would inform the working of the Constituent Assembly. The Constituent Assembly adopted the resolution on 22 January 1947. The Constitution of India came into force on 26th January, 1950 under the supervision of BR Ambedkar, who has contributed significantly to make the nation witness. At the time of its adoption, the Constitution contained 395 Articles and 8 Schedules and was about 145,000 words long, making it the longest national Constitution to ever be adopted. Every Article in the Constitution was debated by the members of the Constituent Assembly, who sat for 11 sessions and 167 days to frame the Constitution, over a period of 2 years and 11 months. The Articles are grouped into 22 different parts, which reflects how they are organized in the text of the Constitution of India, 1950.
