November Week 1 Activity
Know Your Constitution
Type of Activity – Individual Level Activity
Introduction
Constitution Day was formerly known as National Law Day. It is also known as Samvidhan Divas. This day is celebrated on 26th November every year in India to celebrate the historical moment of the adoption of the Indian Constitution. On 26th November 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the Constitution of India and the day bears immense historical significance. However, the Constitution of India came into effect on 26th January 1950.
To make our ACTIZENS aware about the importance of this day, Desh Apnayen’s theme this month, for the weekly activities, is ‘Constitution and Fundamental Rights and Duties’.
In Week 1, we encourage our young citizens to explore and study the Indian Constitution and check their knowledge through a quiz.
